  • I dont understand the enghish acent,, i m from argentina..

    can u write please what kind of Glass u used,, and how many mm??

  • @Juani2392 The glass is a non-tempered glass. If it is tempered and you try to cut it, it will break into a million pieces. I have 18 solar cells in this panel and the panel is 20 in x 21 in which is 508 mm x 533.4 mm. I am not sure about the mm part. That is the answer that google came up with. Thanks for the question, Lonny

  • hmm, nice one. I live in the tropics. So I don't think it really hails here. Thanks for your answer. I wonder how much hail your system can take? Do the cells die if they get wet?

    Thanks

  • @vincentvandervaere Hello, I am not sure how much hail the glass could take. But on the topic of cells getting wet, in the tropics you will want to protect the cells with a vapor barrier. I tried a bunch of different thing in my video " How to build a solar panel part 6". Maybe one of the ideas will be something that will work for you. Thanks for the question, Lonny

  • what happens when it hails?

  • @vincentvandervaere Hello, these are easy to take apart if the top glass gets broken. You would just have to cut a new panel of glass and put it on. Thanks for the question, Lonny

see all
