Hello

I am currently building DIY solar panel.I have a problem regarding the build up of the panel.
My question is can I attach the cells on to a normal transperant glass of about 5mm thick by a transperant silicon? My concern is if the cell will break or not, by the outer environment .

Thankyou in advanced

What type of cells?
 
  • #3
The cells are monocrystaline and they are very fragile.
 
  • #4
The cells will need some protection and they need to be located firmly.
There are numerous videos of people constructing their own panels.
A Goggle search of video using "connecting DIY PV cells tabbing" opens up a whole vista of practical ideas including how to encapsulate the panel you've made.

From what I can see, it's a long and fiddly job!
