How To Build A Solar Panel

Step 4Gluing The Solar Cells Down

Gluing The Solar Cells Down
Next, it was time to glue the strings of solar cells down to the pegboard with silicon. Watch Part 5 to see the method I used.



Afterward, since I had two strings completed, I was able to go ahead and solder my bus wire on one end to bond the two strings of solar cells together. Watch Part 5 and Part 6of the video to see how I went about doing this. Note* after you solder any string together, or make new connections, it is a good practice to check the voltage/current that moment, rather than waiting until you connect all the solar cells/strings together. This is also mentioned in the video as well.
