Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

My partner and I are doing a project where we are going to test what kind of materials give the most output when used in solar panels...but we don't know where to find a small, cheap solar panel that could be used for our project...any suggestions?

Hi Tretman,

Radioshack sells some really small solar panels for about $10, I'm not sure if you could find any cheaper than that. You also might try searching the internet, but those would probably cost more.

Is there a particular size that you need?

Please keep us updated,
Philip
