@fuelban The front of the solar is negative and the back is positive. There are two negative tabbing wires coming from the front and two positive tabbing wires going to the back. When you arrange the cells positive to negative, you are connecting the cells in series, bumping up the voltage. I hope this helped!
Hi, another very interesting video guys, thanks, I would like to ask you if you know of any INFO site where I can get the whole data of a cell, I know 1 of 2 silicones are used (crystalline or amorphous) & doped with phosphorous & heated atoms then diffuse throughout the silicon wafer, what I do not know is how a positive & negative is set up within this body, {the two leads you solder} I presume {1 is + & 1 -} how is two terminals able to come out of one source, ? Thanks
Yeah, I was like why is he soldering the wires to the same panel,one panels wires should be connected to another panel etc.Everything is connected in series right?

Thanks for sharing some great ideas! Try to implement lenses and or mirrors on the sides to reflect sunlight onto the cells. Plus the material you are using will reflect a lot of light away from the cells, therefor a small array of mirrors will compensate for that. It wont be pretty, but you get broken mirror pieces in many places to play with :P Who says a solar panel can't be stylish.

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE where did you buy your solar panels for such a chap price?, ive been looking around and reserching about solar energy it would be really helpful if you could tell where i could buy them .im currently doing a science fair project and and have to work on the cheap pleas help.
TO Greenpowerscience: do these cells ever fail and need replaced? What is the life expectancy of one? If you enclose it in resin, you cant replace them, correct?
LOL IS IT EMP PROOF. ????? I DON't WHAT A SOLAR FLARE TO KILL MY ONLY POWER. I'll go with tesla megnet motor and wind and solar. never deploy all at once. Remember we are in the Photon Belt NASA says we are in for the next 1,500 to 2,500 years. SO YES i'll Buy THE PARTS THAT I CAN TAKE A PART. I can't take a part what you are doing. One EMP it's worthless. SO HERE IS THE SECRET..TESLA COILS. YOU ATTACH A TESLA COIL TO EVERY CELL. NO NEED FOR WIRES THAT WILL BURN UP.
@jmugrad1 The tabs they come with are attached to the front of the cells. The soldering is hooking those front tabs to the back of the next cell. The cells are all hooked up so that the front of one is soldered to the back of the next. Tabs at the ends are hooked to the another string or a charge controller. Each cell is half a volt so you need a bunch in series to get the voltage you need to charge a 12 volt battery. Most panels have extra to handle low sun days and charge to 14 volts.
Aw you know that was cool of you to admit your mistake dude. If more people had the guts to be like that the world would be better. Still you managed to get the point across teaching by letting us experience your mistakes and successes with you. Good on you! Now I want to make my own stuff, thanks for the help.
the technology to save our planet is out there and has been out there for over a hundred years. We just need to the "want" to save our world more than we want a new ipod.
@bnewton81 We think and we are on the same frequency, my unknown friend, I hope in the near future there will be more and more people who think like you and me, and especially those who we have for our "leaders",many greetings from Macedonia!
@bnewton81 make some solar powered ipod chargers and i'll buy from you. if for some reason the power grid goes I want to be stuck with these desert island songs I have picked out
Great VIDEO!!! I have used your video in different varation. Your information is great. I have made 6 DIY PANELS;different varation. Saving $400.00 to $500.00 per year; but contiously adding to panels one cell at a time. Incapisalation info is great. Will apply to my next panel!! EPOXY VERSIS SEALGARD.
I bought cells like this and built my own panels, had 22volts output but after about 3 months the output dropped to about 10 volts. Its not worth the time and effort to built the panels in this way. My advice is to save up and buy good finished panels you will not be disappointed like i was!!!!!!
To make spacing easier would it make sense to use the little spacers you can get for laying floor and wall tiles? I guess if you want everything to be nice and even?
That goes to show not everyone is perfect. But rather than discarding the cells could you just add some tab material and connect them or would that create a larger problem? Kind of new at this solar panel idea thing so not sure on connections that in depth yet.
I have a thought about DIY solar power. I think a cheaper home made solar panel be a better option if you can reduce it to 1/5 the cost of a commercial panel, build it so it can last at least 1/5 the time of a commercial solar panel, which works out to be economical if you replace the solar panel with newer more high tech panels, once every 3 years. This works out better than buying a commercial one, as long as the cost and time is constant, because of the increasing efficiency of new panels.
We don't need 1000 dans, we just need people to try to make them. My father and I are dummies in comparison to Dan but we had no issue making our own. I wont lie though we stole a lot of ideas from Dan's videos :P
We also got free glass from craigslist (tons of it) and got our battery cables from cars at junk yards etc.
With a name like Rojas, of course you will use lead-free solder! Heh heh. Rojas... RoHS...
Something I remember from my Solar electric car days was that you could make your encapsulant antireflective by embedding microscopic inverted pyramid structures in the outer surface. It took a lot of doing, and you only saw corporate competitive teams attempt it. I wonder if you could embed that into the surface of your encapsulant while curing.
how many cells would you need to run a 5 volt radio at about 1amp? I built a solar radio out of a battery powered one but i still need the cells to power it! it is a 5 volt radio but it can run on any voltage up to 25 volts DC or 120 volts AC i was just thinking of getting one of those solar trical chargers boats what do you think should i just make one or buy it please help me out if you can thanks Ben please reply
@mainelyelectric You get about 1/2V per cell, so ten cells would be required to reach 5V. The type of 3" x 6" cells he uses are 1.8W each, which means they should push up to 3.6A of current. You could use a smaller cell type with at least 500mW each to run your radio. I built a small panel for a portable radio once, which could run the radio in full sunlight and charged the NiMH batteries anyway when the radio was not in use.
@PROUDsk8er troll? The majority of us seemed to have understood what he said its normal for the majority of us to have a 15 minute attention span if you can only do 2 mins and you bitch about it, its You thats trolling, get help with your disability instead of complaining on videos : P
@Taud Its not that i don't understand it, its that i don't feel like siting here for twelve min listening to some weirdo with no life and an annoying lisp talk about how to make your own solar panel. And i wasn't complaining about anything, for some reason you felt you needed some attention so you decided to insult the first person u saw hoping u would start an argument. And what if i really did have ADD and ur comment caused me to be depressed about my life and u found out i committed suicide?
LOL I love It! Taking one for the team, and messing up so we don't have to!
Watching you solder those tabs was well informative enough, we'd never really known you had done it backwards. So, a great lesson in a lesson, and for that we thank you.
Hey, maybe a good idea would be to draw a few arrows with a sharpie on the tape, the direction you want the tabs to lay before soldering. I think I will surely do that. :)
Keep up the cool and informative vids Dan, Thanks!
Michaelcoolguy86 has to be the 14 year old loner sitting in his moms basement in his bvd's we always hear about. This level of " humor" is like Bevas and Butthead. Not too creative guy! Spend your time doing something positive
Have you tested your solar cell encapsulation process to determine which wavelengths of light might be readily absorbed or reflected?
Some kinds of polycarbonates or plastics will block different wavelengths of light. Though I don't know for sure, even though it appears clear, its entirely possible the UV spectrum could be blocked with the use of some plastics greatly limiting the solar panels output.
From experience I found that broken cells lower the amperage and increases the voltage. Each piece of a cell creates .5 volts. A whole cell will like your working with 3x5 inch creates about 3.5 amps but break it and each piece will make half that much. The whole panel will create only as much amps as the weakest cell.
@martinparmer I heard that Silicone II, is corrosive to electronics. Of course I have not got a definitive answer as to HOW corrosive. I am tinkering with solar, so if it means my panel only lasts 1/2 as long that is just fine. I thought the same thing myself when it comes to the back side of the panel.
Hey Dan, I'm all for DIY but solar quickly closed that savings gap. Lets talk economics it costs $2.59/w to have a complete system professionally installed. complete panels alone cost $1.75/w so I did some calculations on how much it would cost to DIY, grade A cells on ebay $0.40/w glass from china $1.00/w micro inverter $0.17/w that already adds up to $1.92/w not including aluminum, resin, shipping, personal time... It's much cheaper to out right have it installed with government incentives.
Aww Dan don't be embarrassed, think of that simple mistake as a lesson that just saved many first time DIY'ers a whole lot of time and discouraging frustration; and also teaching a lesson in humility. I kinda like how your skill level isn't particularly specialized and only a notch or so above "knowing just enough to be dangerous" as it completely eliminates the intimidation factor in learning/doing something new. Your adventurous get-your-hands-dirty spirit makes learning fun. Part 2 Please!
the only reason i havent done a panel yet is the prise wasn't much different BUT now thank to your vid I'm going to give it a shot please send link to where I can get those pre tabed cells and the resin and thanks for the vids keep them coming
Very impressive. Thank you. And thank you for being so scientific about the process. There are errors and you show us what errors to avoid! :)

LOL IS IT EMP PROOF. ????? I DON't WHAT A SOLAR FLARE TO KILL MY ONLY POWER. I'll go with tesla megnet motor and wind and solar. never deploy all at once. Remember we are in the Photon Belt NASA says we are in for the next 1,500 to 2,500 years. SO YES i'll Buy THE PARTS THAT I CAN TAKE A PART. I can't take a part what you are doing. One EMP it's worthless. SO HERE IS THE SECRET..TESLA COILS. YOU ATTACH A TESLA COIL TO EVERY CELL. NO NEED FOR WIRES THAT WILL BURN UP.

Don't you have to solder one cell to the positive side and the following cell to the negative side?
From this video, it seems that you solder everyone of your cells to the same side.
Please explain???
jmugrad1 4 months ago
@jmugrad1 The tabs they come with are attached to the front of the cells. The soldering is hooking those front tabs to the back of the next cell. The cells are all hooked up so that the front of one is soldered to the back of the next. Tabs at the ends are hooked to the another string or a charge controller. Each cell is half a volt so you need a bunch in series to get the voltage you need to charge a 12 volt battery. Most panels have extra to handle low sun days and charge to 14 volts.

1000 watt broken cell kit on ebay for $260 +$90 shipping.
250 Watt panels here are $600 to $700 ... massive saving for just having to solder them together :-)
hmm $350 per kilowatt or $2000 ? the difference between broken and not broken.... daaaaamn

I bought cells like this and built my own panels, had 22volts output but after about 3 months the output dropped to about 10 volts. Its not worth the time and effort to built the panels in this way. My advice is to save up and buy good finished panels you will not be disappointed like i was!!!!!!

That goes to show not everyone is perfect. But rather than discarding the cells could you just add some tab material and connect them or would that create a larger problem? Kind of new at this solar panel idea thing so not sure on connections that in depth yet.

I have a thought about DIY solar power. I think a cheaper home made solar panel be a better option if you can reduce it to 1/5 the cost of a commercial panel, build it so it can last at least 1/5 the time of a commercial solar panel, which works out to be economical if you replace the solar panel with newer more high tech panels, once every 3 years. This works out better than buying a commercial one, as long as the cost and time is constant, because of the increasing efficiency of new panels.

With a name like Rojas, of course you will use lead-free solder! Heh heh. Rojas... RoHS...
Something I remember from my Solar electric car days was that you could make your encapsulant antireflective by embedding microscopic inverted pyramid structures in the outer surface. It took a lot of doing, and you only saw corporate competitive teams attempt it. I wonder if you could embed that into the surface of your encapsulant while curing.

how many cells would you need to run a 5 volt radio at about 1amp? I built a solar radio out of a battery powered one but i still need the cells to power it! it is a 5 volt radio but it can run on any voltage up to 25 volts DC or 120 volts AC i was just thinking of getting one of those solar trical chargers boats what do you think should i just make one or buy it please help me out if you can thanks Ben please reply
mainelyelectric 7 months ago
@mainelyelectric You get about 1/2V per cell, so ten cells would be required to reach 5V. The type of 3" x 6" cells he uses are 1.8W each, which means they should push up to 3.6A of current. You could use a smaller cell type with at least 500mW each to run your radio. I built a small panel for a portable radio once, which could run the radio in full sunlight and charged the NiMH batteries anyway when the radio was not in use.

Watching you solder those tabs was well informative enough, we'd never really known you had done it backwards. So, a great lesson in a lesson, and for that we thank you.
Hey, maybe a good idea would be to draw a few arrows with a sharpie on the tape, the direction you want the tabs to lay before soldering. I think I will surely do that. :)

Dan,
Have you tested your solar cell encapsulation process to determine which wavelengths of light might be readily absorbed or reflected?
Some kinds of polycarbonates or plastics will block different wavelengths of light. Though I don't know for sure, even though it appears clear, its entirely possible the UV spectrum could be blocked with the use of some plastics greatly limiting the solar panels output.

enticed2zeitgeist 8 months ago
From experience I found that broken cells lower the amperage and increases the voltage. Each piece of a cell creates .5 volts. A whole cell will like your working with 3x5 inch creates about 3.5 amps but break it and each piece will make half that much. The whole panel will create only as much amps as the weakest cell.

@martinparmer I heard that Silicone II, is corrosive to electronics. Of course I have not got a definitive answer as to HOW corrosive.

Hey Dan, I'm all for DIY but solar quickly closed that savings gap. Lets talk economics it costs $2.59/w to have a complete system professionally installed. complete panels alone cost $1.75/w so I did some calculations on how much it would cost to DIY, grade A cells on ebay $0.40/w glass from china $1.00/w micro inverter $0.17/w that already adds up to $1.92/w not including aluminum, resin, shipping, personal time... It's much cheaper to out right have it installed with government incentives.

Aww Dan don't be embarrassed, think of that simple mistake as a lesson that just saved many first time DIY'ers a whole lot of time and discouraging frustration; and also teaching a lesson in humility. I kinda like how your skill level isn't particularly specialized and only a notch or so above "knowing just enough to be dangerous" as it completely eliminates the intimidation factor in learning/doing something new. Your adventurous get-your-hands-dirty spirit makes learning fun. Part 2 Please!
