Step 4Materials
eight solar cells (I purchased multicrystal cells online. Try, for instance, Silicon Solar, Plastecs, eBay, or do a Google search.)
small gauge wire
ribbon wire (Flat wire commonly used to connect solar cells to one another. I purchased cells with the ribbon already attached to the front of each cell. You can connect with regular wire, but the flat ribbon is less likely to cause the cells to crack when mounted.)
clear plastic (I used plastic that was 0.1 inch thick)
four to six wood screws
battery holder for two AA batteries
wood, about 1/2 inch thick panel
paint
adhesive (I used an adhesive/sealant intended for bathrooms, but silicon should work fine)
solder
