This is way cool: a fellow in the Netherlands decided to buy individual solar cells on eBay and hack together his own solar panel. Basically, he was buying “factory seconds” or slightly damaged cells, but he still managed to buy bulk and to get a good deal.

He does run into some hardware problems, but he seems like a handy guy. And, frankly, I’m just damn impressed that we’re at the stage where people can do this.
