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 Mixcat.com mixcatcom

I’d like to thank you for taking the time to school us on building solar panels. Yours look great, and I am ready to tackle it. Thank you.
Great vidi …… have you found out how they grade the cells ? I presume there is some system like the rings on resister components & the like. Did you have any problems with trapped moisture in the panel, as you generated a bit of a gap ?
Regards Bob
hello dear nice work can you tell me the one cell specification how voltage and watts??????
what about condensation build up inside your glass? You should vacume seal and or epoxy the cells to the glass so no air inside your case…. just a thought
if i use an concealing kit like sylgard 187 do i need to use the silicone or any of that?
Thanks.
Do you really need glass on the back side? Why can’t you use something like plywood?
Like so many others…..I would like the info on your solar cell supplier. Your videos are excellent……anxious to make my first panel. Once assembled, how fragile is the complete panel?……transportable/mobile for a travel trailer or motor home????
Do u have any problems with the backing warping or bending? I used thick plexi glass on mine and it warped
was following the advice of an ebay manual by livingOffThaGrid
what kind of out put you getting on these panels? im guessing cost on that panel is about 40.00 ….. is the accurate??
how do you know which is positive and negative when wiring it to the grid ? thanks
It looks like he is making a delicious cake!! Lol..
I felt you could have given a better detail of the cell layout – I don’t feel I am confident that I can do – is somehthing missing?
@ 5:25, that ‘icing’ you put on the cells, has it dried?
@mixcatcom Where did you get them for $1.50?
Awesome video. Sleep for the weak. I saw this video at midnight too. Creative men works at midnite.
Why not use Epoxy?
@mixcatcom
Just wondering how the panel looks now, can you give us a look? Did the air that was trapped in the panel during assembly turn to moisture and turn the cells brown? Thanks.
hey you didn’t expalin how you made the + & – come one man that confused me?? in the last video you had only one line in this one you have 2? expalin please
i missed the part to connect the cells in series………..i’m kinda missing that in detail
@mixcatcom what’s your email address so I can ask you where you buy these?
i like your video but the excesive use of silcone i wouldnt call beautiful bro that makes a decent panel look kinda amateur there is a much cleaner profesional way to acomplish that
how did you insulate the pos and neg terminals when you installed the c chanel around the edge?
I really enjoyed the tutorial, especially the commentary “sleep is for the weak” I’ve actually just recently ordered my very first 40 polycrystalline solar cells, and as a solar enthusiast in Germany with no experience I’m expecting many complications on the horizon. A mentor would be extremely helpful. Any chance I could possibly troubleshoot some of my questions with you via email? Thx again for the excellent video.
i seen your videos I like it but I want to know what material are used for solar panel and how to connect the tabs. please write me soon. thinks
