How Do You Assemble Solar Panels From Photovoltaic Cells?
Photovoltaic solar panels are used to convert energy from the sun into electricity that can be used to power all manner of electrical appliances. Constructing a panel is actually not very difficult and only requires basic knowledge of carpentry and electrical wiring. The panel consists of two basic components: the solar cell array and the frame structure that the array will be built into to form the panel. Place the mono-crystalline solar cells face down on the plywood in six rows of six so that the leads on the backs of the cells are exposed for soldering. Using copper wire, carefully solder the array together touching on each solder point. If you miss a solder point the array will not function. Be sure to use a separate wire for the positive and negative leads. Also, be sure to leave about a foot of extra wire at the end of the array for connecting the blocking diode. Place a small amount of silicone caulk or otherwise heat resistant adhesive on the back of each cell. Lay the masonit
