Solar Powered Battle Symet - BEAM Style

Step 3Soldering the ring to the solarcell

Soldering the ring to the solarcell
The wire ring we just made will short out the solar cell if we just solder it on. We have to use some tape to cover the corner pads, preventing a short circuit from occurring.

Snip off a few squares, and cover up the power pads on the corner of the solar cell.

Solder the circle to the two corner pads that are connected by the fat green stripe, so it sits centered on the solar cell.
