   water and airtight sealed.

   the original 3 clue clips anyway, that one in the last pic was naked and 30 years old. but still not permeable.

   these are closeups, not near the whole item.

   perhaps bigger samples of each kind?

   Hi, Goody. I've spent some time familiarizing myself with the forum. You hooked me. This is my first post.

   Is it an awning?

   nope, the 1999 dated assembled unit (the first, weather-sealed pictures) has some flex in it but is designed as a rigid assembly. I can span it with my arms.

   the 1986 era unit is as brittle as glass and I can easily cover it with my hand.

   yep.

   the first is a Uni-Solar US-64 thin-film polycrystalline solar panel, the other a single-crystal single cell.

   Gotta figure out problems with hosed hosting before I can post pix.

    Goody - Have you noticed that I guess unless I'm pretty sure about the answer these days? I don't think I've ever looked that close at a solar panel, but I do remember you saying that you used them. And then some of your hints helped immensely. I can wait for my prize until you get things figured out. Thanks.

    Busy Lady - A welcome from me too! Stick around. Goody puts some dandies up for us to guess.

    Thank you, Paulga and Maizeydaze for your welcome messages. I'll be around--as time permits, of course. Goody is only late because he didn't think anyone would get it! :) You have had some humdingers yourself, Maizey. I look forward to the next challenge.

    dunno whats up at picattic, but until better options happen, try this:

    here's the the us-64 panel at the edge of a cell, the us-64 panel frame, and the collection grid on the front of an old 3" cell.

    here's a 4 pack of wallpapers to download.

    Thanks, copmom. My dad was a cop, so I'm partial to the breed.

    But they DO have a warped sense of humor, don't they? And both my sons are cops.. double trouble! In fact one just called to wish his dad a happy Father's Day, we spoke briefly, I asked, did you want to speak to your dad, he said, "of course.. I didn't call to speak to YOU!" Grrrrrrrrr.

    here's overview shots of the us-64 solar array panel and a 4" solar cell- sorry, thought it was 3".

    Goody, Thanks! That Nigela is pretty.

    So, Busy Lady, how long have you been lurking around here? I did it, myself, for almost a year before I joined in. :)

    this boggles me. Although anywhere in the usa is boggling. if they use them in drain with solar, they oughta have em all over- solar powered construction warning signs

    as an ex-californian, I wonder what all the highway 911 poles use for juice- has it been so long?

    maisey: I've been lurking through the forum for a couple of weeks--getting the lay of the land. You folks all seem like my sort, so I jumped in. Been a fan of GOTD for much longer.

    goody: Just because a thing is available to see doesn't mean I got an up-close-and-personal look at it. Shuks, it doesn't look like the stuff on my solar garden lights. ;) But then again, their solar plates are only a few inches across. I'll try to be more observant in the future. Can I still play?

    Busy Lady, can I call you BL? We're happy you like us! And, I, wholeheartedly, agree with copmom about Goodys' things. They've typically, been much harder than anything I've put up here. :)

    heh. got a hand-me down new couch a-comin' and a new gwii once it's here. just you wait.

    most yard lights (and yeah, 911 phones and such) use the almost-black few-collector wire low-current old-generation polycrystalline 'slab' cells- almost all types minimize the collector grid as they get newer- wires don't make juice.

    these are examples of late-90's high current high efficiency triple-thin-film polycrystalline array tech (same company makes floating roll-up panels for boat storage) and early 80's single-crystal high-current best. (not very)

    Ewwww.. we find those things growing here and there in the yard, and I dig them out with a trowel as fast as I can, wearing gloves, of course! Or it's something that looks just like that.

    Hey we have those things too, just popped up all of a sudden and we've been wondering what they are. Does anyone know? They're nasty.
