ebay is probably one of the best places to get solar cells right now..
I have bought 6"x6" for as low as $2 each / $0.50/watt - not bad at all
Learn to make your own panels, would be the cheapest / most difficult

Im using 1/8" lexan bottom sheet, with 1/16" top sheet, with double sided tape in between. to attach to - 1/2" wood doweling, or 1/8" x 3/4" aluminum angle as the frame.

The lexan does affect solar cell efficiency, 90% light transparency//
