Teenager invents solar panel made from human hair
Where do you get your panels?
http://www.wholesalesolar.com/solar-panels.html
lists prices from about US$3 to about US$10 per watt for panels in the 100-200W range and nothing below 100W, and
http://www.solarbuzz.com/Moduleprices.htm
has this lovely graph by month up in the US$4.40 range. I see
http://www.ecobusinesslinks.com/solar_panels.htm
lists some panels for US$1.85 per watt, but the discrepancy is worrying.

Direct from the manufacturers and/or their factory reps. This is for panels in the 50-100W range.

Just curious. What do you use your panels for? Personal use or do you build stuff to sell.
