How to build a Solar Panel from Solar Cells DIY Part 1 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 Mixcat.com mixcatcom

I would like to see what you are gonna encase them in. Wouldnt glass cause moisture from the heat?? Would plexi-glass work better?

You say 2 cells make 1 watt and you say 150 make 300 watts? Or 75?

soddering I have never heard that as a non US tech, I spell it ‘soldering’ I say it “sold-ering” not sod-dering ??

@NawffDallasz214 ~ you’d wind up with hot soldering iron lodged in your wiener-hole, you insolent poster of putrefaction, you. Such rude remarks serve only to perhaps enable a few dozen YouLosers to grin and do another bong full of foolishness… I’d consider Energy-Efficient-Suicide, ASAP if I had to endure the cursed misfortune of being YOU. Okay—I’m done for now, but consider this admonition a tiny fraction of my actual disdain for people like YOU, as time and characters are much limited ~
MaxRaincloud says:

All kidding aside ~
I’m encouraged by the Trial & Error approach, sans the Sleek Editing. Looks like a video I’d produce (if my brain ever returns from vacation) But my wife (also pretty) might film it but never appear on cam (also, the # of blisters would increase exponentially) Am I to understand that the power output is limited only by the # of solar-cells distributed and of course whether or not the Sun is, um… sunning? Pardon my painful naiveté, I’ve the memory of a small rock ~

@FrankoTheMango or… you could RENT electricity & return it to the gods of No-Freekin-Kiddin when finished with it-or trap a Giant Panda–tricky–they’re invisible to Smart People (I see them a LOT) then run a Giant Panda Hose to its ass utilizing Magical Panda Power–or maybe recycle finger-blister skin & soldering iron carcasses, make solar-paste & coat your domicile in it (retains heat, comfort & warm, cozy feelings) or you could try to refrain from Futile YouTube Remarks–As should I–LOL!

oh it said you could puzzle them together with solder. Is this really possible?

I saw a kit that basically had broken cells and the kit said that the broken ones would still work?! I don’t know anything about solar but the ones that were broken seemed to be the only way I can afford to get just about all my solar needs. Is it worth it for a novice to try and learn to piece together broken short tabbed solar cell?

Can you provide me with your good source for solar cells. I would like to give Your
design on glass a try! I have never made a solar panel before but am interested
because of your great example. Also what thickness of tempered glass do you recommend? Watched about 5 or 6 of your videos included your reclycling of the small LCD screen. Really good Stuff! Thanks … Roger (yellowmustanglover) on Youtube or mustangro@hotmail.com

If I build my own solar panels and hook it to my ongrid system with an inverter will it actually reduce my electric cost? Using batteries seem too expensive. Thanks Neal

@mixcatcom I have a question if i want to build a 200 watt solar panel how many cells will i need and how much total including shipping to 90037? my watts consumption is 8000 per hour. and my house each two months is 1600kwh. Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi, I really enjoyed your video. I’m doing a scholarly work, and I need carry a car battery with solar power, but for that I need ready cells. Could you give me your e-mail to negotiate the price and quantity of cells.

i cant, for the life of me, get the solder on the fronts to stick. i’m using the same rosin core solder and flux that everybody recommends. what am i doing wrong?

You should be wearing rubber gloves. Any grease from your finger tips may affect the final product. It’s similar to when you install a halogen light bulb in your car, the slightest bit of grease can cause it to fracture. Very nice tutorial though : )

Did you ever get a chance to work on water pump based on solar cells?

@mixcatcom I am interested in building some units of solar panels. Can we try one panel’s worth of cells
if you have them.
