how-to: homemade solar panel
All you need is a tin oxide electrode, a graphite electrode, some nanocrystalline titanium dioxide, and... raspberries??? These are actually really easy to make and are the latest fad in biological solar power relying on the photosynthetic/chemical properties of berry juice and titanium oxide. This tutorial shows you exactly how to do it , so does this one based on a kit, and so does this one, and this one explains how the whole thing works.
Here's a couple variations that are more electrochemical in nature (1) (2) using cupric oxide and saltwater.

Seems like these would last 10 years (the berry juice will eventually break down). Homemade ones could get 5% effeciency. Sounds cheap to make, hmnnn...
