Subject: [alt-beam] Solar cell recommendations?

Hi list,

I'm just starting out with this. I built my first solar engine last night, but
had what I think is a standard problem of the cap not recharging properly (only
works when I de & re-atach the motor), so I'm gonna try a SunEater instead.

Anyways, after not being to impressed with the RS solar cell I bought, I was
looking for suggestions on ones I could order. Price isn't a big factor, I'd
prefer reliability, and presoldered would be really nice. Also, I was wondering
about how many volts you usually these things usually put out, so I can mimic
with batteries until I get one.

Thanx in advance,

Wondering Aimlessly,
James Anderson
