MAKE YOUR OWN PANELS AND SAVE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
We supply free the flat solder coated wire needed...with instructions.

After you construct your solar panels
....check out our solar panel wire,.....to connect the
completed SOLAR PANEL....to another SOLAR PANEL....
or a battery....on our Homepage!
                                                 

Example: If you purchase 36 cells of the WB-28 and 

connect them in series yourself---you would have a 33 - 37 Watt solar panel. 

Your cost for the cells would be $4.50each plus $7.00 for S&H for a total of $169.00 USD.

A panel of this size could cost you $300.00. What a saving !!!! 

The same applies for the WB-29 for a total cost of $167.20 USD 

including shipping, for a 31W-34W solar  panel.

Again---less than 1/2 the cost. The back and front side have

solder connective surfaces making these cells very easy to work with

See spec chart below!

WB-28 solar cells***----100mm round ( 4" round )----single crystal----2.0-2.25A @ 0.57-0.60V--------efficiency 12-12.9%----easily solderable----weighs 0.28 oz. each ( 8 gms )---------$4.50each plus S&H

 WB-29 solar cells***----84mm quasi-square ( 3.3" square )----single crystal----1.80-2.0A @0.57-0.60V-------efficiency 12-12.9%----easily solderable----weighs 0.22 oz. each ( 6 gms )--------$4.45each plus S&H

Actual Solar Project

...made with Plastecs WB-29's!!

solar cell actual panel

Hi, Nice web site! Have you ever thought of using these solar cells 

at shown  in the pic to increase your fun time? It is so easy you wont believe it!  

1: Solar cells
2: Nicad battery packs 
3: Battery controller so you don't over charge batteries.
4: Thin Plexiglas.  

My son is still working on his boat. The cells are laying on thin Styrofoam. I used the electrical silicon rubber that I got at Lowes to bond the cells to the foam. I just used a small dot to hold the cells in place. These cells are easy to solder because they are thicker than the  light blue solar cells. Since each cell is 0.5V @ 2000MA I am using 14 of  them that will give me 7 volts. Yes 14 watts of power for extra fun, charge during the day and run at night with using leds for lights.

GRAB-BAG of SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS

These bags contain an assortment of chipped, broken, odd pieces of poly-crystalline cells that are simply put into bags from a box of cells that have been handled and broken. Many of these can be soldered together to make a Solar panel. Each piece is about 0.4-0.5V. The amount of current derived depends on the size of the piece. It can have anywhere from 20ma to 300ma or 400ma. These are random selected pieces. 

1 oz bag--------------------- $4.00 each

2 oz bag----------------------$7.50 each

3 oz bag ( NEW )--------- $10.00 each
