Learned how to make a solar cell phone charger and solar battery charger

Picture Went to Jonesport, Maine for a weekend to learn about solar panels and solar electricity and came home with a solar battery charger kit (to finish at home) and a completed solar cell phone charger. Photo at the left is a broken solar cells cut to make one string and being tested to see if they are drawing electricity from the cloudy day (and yes they certainly did) to use in the solar batter recharger that Darcie is showing at the top. That bottom photo is me holding my just finished solar cell phone charger...that was pulling in 6.6 volts when tested even on a very cloudy day...still enough to charge a cell phone in a couple of hours.

I learned about a lot of very interested projects that Dr. Komp is doing worldwide, creating great business opportunities for third world countries and helping those at low income create a living for their families or how to generate their own power. 
Hoping to have a seminar on PEI to teach people how to do these projects too and trust me if I can learn than anyone can! These projects were done with broken solar cells so that made them cheap and a great recycle project. I'm now looking into suppliers so if you know of any let me know.
