"Great product! I had gotten a few two weeks ago just to fool around with. I hooked three up in a series to make 1.5V. I hooked this up to a 1.5V calculator. Works even in indirect sun!!!..." Read Full Review »

"First recognize what you are buying, a piece of silicon. If you where to see silicon wafers used in many electronic devices (op-amps, transistors, etc.), before it gets singulated into chips, you would see that large pieces of silicon are very fragile (as I have experienced). This device dates back to the beginning of solar cell technology. It performs pretty much as stated. Ah, never read the instructions, ..." Read Full Review »

"For more output power, place the cells in a "series" (increased voltage) and "parallel" (increased current) configuration. A recent design coupled an "array" of these solar cells with a 1.6MHz DC-DC switching converter IC to make an 80% efficient 6.0V DC solar power supply; current output was rated …" Read Full Review »

Best Uses
"I use the cell as a photodetector in physics teaching demonstrations, connected to a Radio Shack miniature amplifies speaker.
Unfortunately the cell comes without wire leads attached, and soldering to the tiny rail on the front takes so experience and care.
The bigger problem is that cell is v
