SUMMARY
Cutting a mono crystalline solar cell, such as the one linked from Amazon, is not feasible without specialized equipment. Attempting to cut the cell will result in shorting the substrate, rendering the solar cell useless. The intricate design of solar cells involves components at the micron level, making manual cutting impractical and damaging. High-end laser cutting is the only method that could potentially allow for modification without compromising functionality.
