yes vector...before I bought the flat tab wire I flaten round wire with a hamer. Flat tabing wire is not expensive and clear crystaline resin is only $15. I use this panel for most of my solar experiments I am very happy with the results. Thanks.
Well done. For me the main advantage of flat tabbing wire is that it allows for a thinner space between the front side of the cells and the glass. Regular wire (say 24 AWG) lifts the cell quite a bit more which also makes it more fragile if you accidentally press down too hard.

@1overlordi Yes that is right, and it works fine. I have some commercial solar leds that only lasted 2 yrs. Thanks for your comments.
