Small solar strips: where can I buy them?
I saw a small solar panel that was no bigger then about 1 inch by 3 inchs , and about as thin as a few pieces of paper online somewhere for sell, and now that I would like to buy a few, I'm having a heck of a time finding them back. Hopefully, someone knows what I'm talking about and can help me. Thanks in advance!

Can I buy solar silicon cells only and assemble my own solar panel made of insulated materials like plywood?
Photovoltaic electricity is becoming one of the best alternarive energy source nowadays but still a little expensive. As ordinary electrice home user and solar power beginner, I am conscious of cost effectiveness. I understand silicon is standard material of solar cell which is just can not be manufactured at home so you must buy it, but can i make my own solar panel made of any insulated materials such as plywood or painted plain G.I. sheets with welded metal frame? Can I used 12v car battery and AVR as charge controller and a low cost bridge rectifier as inverter?
Where to buy TABBING WIRE for wiring solar panels? (NOT- online)?
You mean this stuff: http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=7... That flat interconnection wire is specific to photovoltaics and you are NOT going to get it anywhere but a dealer that sells the panels -- in other words, it will not be stocked by most electrical distributors and building centers. I would suggest looking for PV dealers in your area and start there. The packages are small -- it probably would not cost that much for next day air delivery if you ordered on line.
I'm interested in getting solar panels to save the electric bill, but don't have any idea where to be looking for?
I'm sure solar panels are pretty expensive, but I know in the long run, it'd save us a lot. I don't know absolutely anything other than the basic usage of them. I'd really appreciate any help you have to offer! (I live in Ohio, USA, if it's important to anything)
