Step 4Final Assembly
Now we're ready to bring the pieces together. This is an exploded view that shows how the various components are connected, in the next step we will use a more compact arrangement to operate the device in actual sunlight.
The cells are wired in series, the yellow wires show the interconnect while the red and black leads represent the power taps. For more information wiring in series see my related instructable:
How to Wire Batteries in Series or in Parallel
The leads are clipped either directly to the carbon electrode or attached to the foil lead and secured to the lip of the cell.
The power taps are attached to the appropriate red/black leads on the power assembly ( see picture ).
At this stage the system is ready to be relocated to a sunny spot (for sundown detection) and charged with electrolyte to begin energy generation.
