Are there any free online books or pdf's to teach me how to put a pv cell together? I only want to play with a small 40 watt panel.

the system that I have been looking at for my project is around 37000 dollars that includes installation and the 25 327 watt sunpower panels. After calculating the possible incentives the total cost is around 22000 dollars. My friend was doing some calculations and he is saying that we will never save any money. Can someone direct me to a site with incenctives for arizona? Im hopeing if I can save more money we will actually be able to save money.

The incentives for Arizona are the 30% federal tax credit, a $1000 state tax credit and the utility rebate which varies depending on the utility. Assuming your calculation is for APS, it sounds about right. That size system in Phoenix with no shading issues should be capable of saving you around $1600/year based on today's APS pricing. It will eventually pay off but not for quite a few years.

Put a PV cell together? You mean a 3 x 6 cell - read posts on the forum - ain't no easy way

yeah I woud like to buy a few cells put them together and experiment on how to get more sun light, I was thinking of playing with lenses and things like that. I only want the system to be like 10 W so obviously something small at first.
