Eureka Science Center on Tilak Road opposite SP College had many project kits. While they were out of stock on the Solar Energy Kit (which included a solar panel), I tracked down the manufacturer at Warje (Third Wave Systems).

What a fascinating company and genuinely nice people there cranking out many science/educational toys for different school going age groups. I highly recommend them. Third Wave Scientific Products Private Limited Year of Establishment: 1994 Ms. Neelambari Joshi (Manager) G. B. Complex, Near Hyundai Showroom, Pune, Maharashtra, India - 411 052 Telephone: +(91)-(20)-25233678

Ensemble systems also offered solar panels in 5W onward capacities (6V & 12V). These were more than what a small school project needed. They have an interesting Educational Kit.

I am told there is a small shop in camp (behind Budhani Wafers on MG Road) that also has kits - possibly including solar energy kit.

There is a Honeywell Dealer Showroom in Sadashiv Peth, Tilak Road (right next to Jyana Prabhodini School). They have low watage solar cells (for solar lights, etc.)

I picked up some from Third Wave Systems Warje. However, this is much closer - if/when you get a phone number, could you post? Thanks
