Answer:
How to Make a Solar Power Generator for Less Than $300
Using parts easily available from your local stores, you can make a small solar power generator for $250 to $300. Great for power failures and life outside the power grid. Power your computer, modem, vcr, tv, cameras, lights, or DC appliances anywhere you go. Use in cabins, boats, tents, archaeological digs, or while travelling throughout the third world. Have one in the office store room in case of power failures in your highrise. I keep mine in my bedroom where it powers my cd player, turntable, lights, modem, laptop, and (ahem) a back massager. I run a line out the window to an 8" x 24" panel on the roof.

uhhh, ebay?
China.
Am,
I bought mine from the Alternative Energy Store. They are an on-line seller and at least three years ago had the cheapest prices I could find.
According to Solarbuzz.com the current cheapest thin film module price is $4.00 / watt.
Solarbuzz also lists manufacturers and would be a good place to price shop.
Home Power magazine is a great reference as well.
