This is a good option for anyone wanting to experiment with DIY solar panels but do not want to use hot solder. This works good if you have a good clean connection and you are willing to sacrifice about 5% of the solar cells over all watt output.

You can actually make smaller panels this way increasing the wattage per square meter and saving on glass dimensions. This option works perfectly for joining together broken cells and making artistic designs with solar scraps that really produce power. This option is also perfect for solar model builders as this makes the panel one semi-rigid piece.

  • I understand that solar cells are in the sun all the time, therefore aren't we worried about thermal expansion? Wouldn't the constant heating and cooling cause the cells to expand and contract? and wouldn't that cause the glue bonds to crack? Can you please test this theory to test the durability of the conductive glue?

  • Dan I think the better way is to put the gleu on a thin peace of conductive metal thats and stick the edges of the panel to it but we could use more gleu i guess double the amount u used but I guess it's better because this way we're not going to loose any serface of the panels cos we going to use the back side of the edges, ha tel me what do thing isn't cool idea

  • Good idea thanks for sharing it with us but where is the second part let us see how the wiring going to be thanks man keep up the good work

  • Good Idea Dan

    Where is your Part 2 For Wiring and building a panel you were saying at the end of this video?

  • What is the glue brand name and where can i buy some?

    

  • Dan

    Could you build your frame first then put glass side down and glue your panels in one at a time laying them on the glass for support. as you glue them. then all you would need to do is seal the back and make your conections. would that work. Hope you understand what I'm talking about.

    Also we have alot you yard sales in Al. and you can find lots of large ugly picture cheap but they are covered with glass frames could you burn the picture and you the glass frame.

    Thanks
