What powers Solar Panels?
Solar Power is arguably the cleanest and most reliable and renewable energy available, and it can be used in several forms to help power your home or business. Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun.
Definition: A solar panel is a series of interconnected silicon cells joined together to form a circuit. In greater numbers the amount of power produced by these interconnected cells can be increased and used as an electricity production system. Solar panels come in different sizes for different purposes.
Lists of multiple Items Solar Panels can power include: Cars, Engines, Lights, Lawnmowers, Your House, Boats, Computers, Chargers, Ovens, Toys, Trains, Sharpeners, Helicopters, Planes, Robots, Televisions and a continuous list that will tremendously expand over years of non-stop inventions.
How would you make your own cheap Solar Panel?
A Solar Cell is the first item you will need. On ebay you can buy a pack of 40 for $19.99.
Although they are a bit damaged, they still have a lot of power. They’re 3 x 6, this is big enough to power a “car” for example. $19.99/40= 0.49975 US Dollar. If converted it would be 67 CAN cents per 3 x 6 solar cell which is a deal. Next, will need a cover for the solar cells. Any old picture frame with a glass cover would be perfect. A 20 gauge wire or any insulated wire will be needed for the tabbing. You will need to tab the wires onto the back of the solar cell in alignment with the contacts. To attach the wires, you would need to solder them.
Another set of wires will be mandatory for the positives and negatives. There are three positives and three negatives in the solar cell. Attach your first wire to all the negatives and the second wire to the positives. Put your solar cell in your frame and get your toy or item you want to power and connect the positive and the negative to the positive and the negative. Leave it out in the sun and watch it work.

If you enjoy the easy way just tear out a solar panel from a pack of outdoor solar lights you can get from a dollar store and start using sunlight to your advantage.
