Small Solar Panel Toy

Solar Panel Help? Beginners?
Well my dad has been into Solar panels for quite a while, his birthday is coming up and i want to get him a small minature one, so he can toy around with it and be able to use it as expirience for when he gets a bigger one. my dad has been doing ALOT of studying, and i’ve been looking online but idk what kinda kits to get so should i get a
10w kit, 15w kit, or 20w kit? which one would be best to fool around with and play with? thanks
The bigger the better, 20w isn’t a lot of power, so you might as well get it.
If you have $400, you can build him one or get him the stuff to do so. This would be WAY better than owning a panel already built because he will learn sooo much more about them. I found this site when I was dinking around with solar panels http://www.virtualsecrets.com/build-a-solar-panel.html All the other sites you google/yahoo for will be advertisements. I think the author of this one was a engineering student.
Hope this helps!
