R rjvh New Member Apr 25, 2008 #3 normaly there are 2 strips on the cells (+ and -) just solder the wires on it and put the cells in serie or parallel depending on the desired voltage and power requirement Robert-Jan I just see your second mail but in my oppinion it's not a bargain for broken cells Last edited: Apr 25, 2008

H HarveyH42 Banned Apr 26, 2008 #7 Goldmine has a PDF for soldering to solar cells, believe it describes how to use the broken cells. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Solar-Panel/ https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-MAKE-PV-Solar-Panels/ https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-high-powered-solar-panel-from-broken-solar-/ Got these off the first search page, might be more on that site. I read on once, been a while, but remember it gave detailed instructions.
