How to make 2V 4.5A solar panel from solar cells?

I want to make 2V 4.5A solar panel to charge my battery used in my RC car project. I just like to know how should I amplify the current for 4.5A. I need the total circuit diagram. Can anyone help me. Please. I need some affordable methods please.

Answer:

Have okorder / . It could obviously explain everybody!
To increase current, you connect the cells in parallel. But I think you really mean you need 4.5 watts rather than 4.5 amps of current. For an RC car, 4.5 amps would be huge, literally a regular car battery. So I think you mean you need a 2v, 4.5w panel. That would make more sense for an RC car battery. I went on OKorder and bought a 2v, 5 watt panel for about $30.
The simplest way to use these panels is simply to connect the panel to your battery, with a diode in series to prevent the battery from discharging through the panel (no sunlight condition). Just connect the battery for the required charge time then disconnect it. Full sun is required, no shadows on the solar panel! ---------- .
