A solar cell puts out about one half volt regardless of size.
However much area it takes to output a couple of milliamps in full sun is
the concern.
.03 watts per square centimeter is the power figure I get.
It looks like surplus market calculator cells would be a way to go, some

The only really desirable addition would be the electronics to produce

Solar Heaters and Solar Cookers are a different world from Solar Panels
that produce voltage to use or charge batteries.
You can make a solar cooker from a cardboard box and tinfoil.
Mirrors, glass, and other
DC/DC voltage doublers have been around for a long time.
Neat trick, but they eat more power than just using 2 batteries to get that
voltage.
The only advantage is space savings.
A couple of 6 volt bicycle generators for lights will do the job nicely
and are not uncommon in the third
powering up the walkman or whatever they
use
these days...

Hi There Wayne - would you please let me know where you found the solar
panels for
powering EIS makers - very interested as an alternative to no electricty
- I make my own
makers so this would be a great thing to have for the future !
Thanks

If you are just going for a colloidal silver maker in Iraq, you do not
need batteries. There is plenty of reliable sun. You just need a solar
cell and a current limit circuit.
Likely this application needs the smallest solar charger in

Rechargeable batteries come in 1000 sizes today. Many are shirt pocket size.
Remember you need sunshine. Some parts of the midwest have little
sun.
This is the reason any effort can help. Dr. Jones' solar stoves can
cook food, sterilize water, and maybe make distiller water for EIS,
with a few adaptations. One stove could help several families. It
would be a start. He's donating the stoves, but in time we'll have up
a PayPal site
What about using solar powered batteries?

I'm thinking of a 4-9V rechargeable Nicad setup. A custom solar

device had a switch to go from charging to output that would be neat.
It could have a simple built-in constant current controller and

Evening JBB,
SOTA Instruments has a patented method to turn the output of one 9-V
battery into 36 volts in their low-cost Silver Pulser Lite.I think that
device is constant current also.
Keep in mind that near 100% of such devices have an overhead and a direct
effect on efficiency.

Constant current, in my personal experience, makes a big difference.
