Combining old solar cells off calculators and solar lights?
How do you combine solar cells like ones removed from calculators and solar lights to generate more power, is it as simple as wiring alike color wires together? And after the wiring is done what type of energy is created DC or AC?
The cells are not damaged they are just removed from different solar powered objects like solar lights and calculators. I know they are small scale but can I link them all together to create more wattage?
Could someone explain the difference and wiring parallel and series and how they effect voltage Vs. Amps?

There’s a video about wiring together old damaged silicon cells to make them work again, you can find it here:

you’ll need solder, soldering iron, and other stuff, it’s pretty simple.
electrical energy from solar cells are all DC until you install an inverter to make it AC.
It should be pretty simple. Use the same analogy of batteries. It you want more volts then connect the negative to the positive of the battery and finally connect the bulb. On the other hand you want more amps then put them in parallel. See the connecting wire and connect them accordingly.
