How could I build a small, efficient solar panel?
I am trying to come up with a term project for a class I’m in, and my current idea involves lighting miniature LED bulbs (we’re talking tiny, here) with a homemade "solar" panel (I would probably in actuality use a bright light instead of the sun). Is it possible to build your own solar panel without too much crazy equipment or expenses? How would I do so?
You can get a small panel at Radio Shack. If you want to go to the trouble of trying to fabricate one from the ground up, that is another matter. Modern construction techniques are beyond the scope of even a well prepared home constructor. Vacuum deposition, being one of the steps in many of the types. Not to mention the hazardous and toxic materials used in manufacture.
Now, Lindsay books had at one time a book titled "How to Construct a Solar Cell That Really Works" which would make an interesting class project in itself. It uses primarily a copper penny- Pre 1982 US. If they still have it you should find at http://www.lindsaybks.com It does not produce enough power to operate an LED, but it does produce adequate power to deflect an analog meter needle.
