How to build a Solar Panel from Solar Cells DIY Part 3

How to build a Solar Panel from Solar Cells DIY Part 3
This is a video of how I build solar panels from single solar cells wired in series.
This is a great DIY "do it yourself" Green power project.
These solar panels are very powerful and following these steps you will be able to make them for 1/3 of what they sell them for in the stores.
If your looking to get off the grid or just drop your electric bill this is perfect for you! Stay tuned for up and coming parts. I will seal these solar panels and test them in up and coming videos.
We will even show how we install it on my own home and how I connect it to our grid tie inverter.
I hope you enjoy the video.
All the best,
-Pete

Where do you buy your solar cells. I see some sellers on eBay but would like your input from your experience if you have a buyer you get them from. Thanks.

@anonku77 If you need some shoot me an email I get them around $1.5 per cell like in this video.

All the best,

@JohnSmith18989 In the UK we can get 80w solar panels on ebay for around £100 including delivery. US and Canadian import tarrifs put the price right up,the Government should waive tarrifs on goods like this that benefit the country. Solar panels are getting cheaper every year. Making your own might be fun,but they cant beat the durability of a factory produced item that comes with a warranty.Check out my vids on cheap solar panels.

What do you do after you finish building the solar panel what do you hook the wires too? Inverters?

I unfortunately lost you with how you connected the solar panels in series. At the end of video two you have connected two rows together.  How did you connect the third row. That was important to me. Can you please explain how you did that. Did you put sealant over the tabs?

Commercial Solar Panels are too Expensive (Around $300 for a 100 Watt Solar Panel)

To save money you have to build your own Solar Panels.....

To know how...Jus t go to Google and give a search for...

How do you clean the solar cells after tabbing them? I have tabbed about 100 cells and they have finger prints and flux on them. but I am not sure how or if I should clean them before I continue. I see you sell the cells, do you also sell the tabbing, buss wires and flux? Oh ya what about the diode? do I even need one if I am not hooking to battery's but going direct to my well pump? how do I find one and know what kind to get for my panel, the panel will have 60 cells in it.

thanks for the vids
