I will probably order the solar cells from Conrad Eletronic (in Holland:
www.conrad.nl) , you can order cells there, for the international website,
check out: http://www.conrad-electronic.com/

Can you tell me what cells to use?

Good luck.
Arno

Man, I wish I could do that. They sell solar cells at the equivalent of 2.50
ea. in American dollars. But, they cannot ship to the US. Not that they
won't, they would love to. They can't. Amazing that they cost 3-4 times more
on this side of the pond.

Don't see why they can't...some strange export law or something?
