Homemade Solar Panels

I just ordered 100 solar cells from an EBay seller, enough to make a couple of 95 watt solar panels and start cutting my electric bill. There is lots of info out there on how to do this . I paid $160 per 50 for these cells brand new never used. If you bought an already made panel with comparable output you would pay $300 - $500 depending on brand and quality.

Here's a couple links:
