Where can i get those nifty small panasonic solar cells/panels that i see on some robots online? Are they sold out because they look/work so cool/well -- or do they not make them anymore? Where do you guys get your solar cells? Thanks for the help!

the panasonic ones look the best...
Probably saw them on "BEAM" bot's eh?
Bad news for you Ed, Panasonic stopped making them a couple years ago.
I agree with you the panasonic sunceram solarcells were great, currently the only size we still sell is the SC3782 (37mm by 82mm)

We are starting to get in some new polycrystaline type cells and they do out preform the panasonics but the low light preformance is not as good.
There once was a time when digikey carried the panasonic suncerams... those were the days.
