Always shut off the power to your solar panel array before working on it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and other protective gear when working with electricity. Inspect the grounding system. To make sure that the solar panels are in good working order, inspect regularly the grounding system. Follow the below steps on how to inspect the grounding system
Learn MoreMoving from top to bottom, use your soldering iron and start soldering the tab wire down. Don't let your iron set in one place to long, you will burn the solar cell. You will need to move your holding tool around as you move the iron down, don't let the tab wire move. Hold the tab wire down until the solder cools. 5.
1. Add tab wires as needed to the end of the strings. 2. Lay the strings next to each other with a small space in between them. I would recommend doing this on the glass you will be using for the solar panel, or on something that these cells can be kept on until they are ready to be put into a panel.
1. Soldering irons are hot and will burn you if you are not careful. If you do not know how to solder you will need to learn how to first before attempting this project. 2. You need to have and understanding of basic electricity before attempting to work with solar panels. If you do not have this understanding have some one help you that does.
The first jig is to hold the solar cells while soldering. I made this from a piece of scrap wood and some small nails. I laid out a few of the solar cells on the board and marked places to put the nails. Make sure you put the nails in places that when you are soldering that they do not get in the way of your solder iron.
Strip the protective sleeve from both cable ends, allowing a sufficient length to fit halfway into the copper cable connector. Insert the exposed stranded copper solar wire halfway into one end of the cable connector and securely crimp the cable connector over the wire end.
The best practice is to cut each cable to length with no joints and only MC-4 type connectors at the cable end. The efficient transport of electrons from the solar panels to the solar charge controller requires quality copper wire of sufficient thickness to reduce resistance to a minimum.
