If you're looking for a module that includes a built in voltage
regulator to limit the voltage to 6 - 9 volts, you need to make it
clear. Most of the responses seem to be referring to 12 volt panels,
which will be fine if you limit the voltage, but won't be suitable if
you need voltage regulation to be included in the external module.

my pcb has a Linear Tech LT1117-5 LDO regulator on board, regulates 5volts with
a min input Voltage of 6 volts, so I'm currently using 4 AA batteries in a
battery pack with a 9v type clip. Wanted to be able to charge the batteries with
solar cells basically.

But after searching the web a bit it seems cheapest to buy individual cells
then tie them in series...No?

thanks,
