I have made a start on making my own solar panel at last.
I cut all the tabbing wires tonight which took longer than the soldering did.
I then tabbed all the cells which was a lot easier than I expected.
Tomorrow I have to assemble the aluminium frame and buy the glass.
After that the hard bit which is connecting all the strings and doing the EVA encapsulation.
I will do a full write up with photo's after I finish. It's proving to be an interesting project so far and I hope I will have a 144Watt panel by the time I am finished.
