Step 6Building the backing
Cut a flat piece of wood the correct size to provide backing for the solar cells.
I arranged the solar cells in two columns of four cells (to make the panel more square than rectangular). That covered 6 1/2" x 4", plus I added additional space for wiring and to secure the cover to the backing, which came to a final dimension of 8" x 5 1/2" for the wood backing.
Sand and paint the wood. Set it aside to dry.
