We’re not on Solarbotics’s payroll, we swear! It’s just that they’re releasing some cool year-end stuff. First the Mousey kit<\/a> and now this<\/a>. It’s a 37 x 33mm Polycrystalline 6.7v Solar Cell that has a Miller Solar Engine circuit etched onto the underside. All you have to do is solder on a few components, wire up a motor and you have a solar-powered thingamajig. <\/p>\n

I talked about the Miller Solar Engine variant (a more power-efficient, more configurable version of the traditional Type 1 voltage-triggered Solarengine) in my BEAM articles in MAKE. You could use one of these cells and its MSE circuit with a Gold Cap (.33F capacitor) on my Solarroller project from Make Vol. 6 and you’d get a nice long-burst power feed to the motor for a decent run of the Roller. <\/p>\n

These Solar Engine Cells are a “Limited Edition” (oh, fancy…), so you should scoop ’em up while you can. And they’re only US$9 for one or $7.25 for two or more. <\/p>\n
