What is a solar cell inverter?

So I was reading about solar cells and saw that you need a inverter to get any output/electricity out of the cell, is that true?

I wanted to use solar cells to power up for example a cellphone charger, what would I need to do that? except the solar cell and the charger..
(the charger requires 230V input, european model)

Solar Powered cell phone charger help?

I’m trying to wire up a circuit for a solar powered cell charger

http://www.browndoggadgets.com/parts/solar-cells/

voltage is good, my charger outputs 5 V at 700mA
I noticed that the cell only puts out 7V at about 60mA. How would I go about making a circuit that can add the amperage? I assume I gotta slap a AAA battery in there or something, but how to adjust the amperage i have no clue. Is this over my head? lemme know

Home-made solar cell phone charger difficulties?

Hey I recently built myself a solar-powered cell phone charger for my Palm Pre using this these plans. http://www.instructables.com/id/Solar-Powered-Cell-Phone-Charger/

The solar cell is a 6V 50mA and the DC outlet is 12V. My problem is when I plus the phone into the charger cable, it will pup up that it is charging but then the entire UI becomes extremely sluggish, making taps on the screen take several seconds to register until the screens settles into an entirely unresponsive state. Removing it from the charger does not fix this and and I end up having to pull the battery and do a hard restart.

Any ideas why this might happen?

Where can I buy solar panels to make a solar powered cell phone charger?

Back in high school it was going to be a school project for our science team but the plan never worked out. Two years later I am finally going to do it. I live in the Asbury Park, New Jersey area. Is there a store that is located a decent distance to buy them? Is there a reliable online source?
