To construct a photovoltaic solar panel, a specific set of materials are essential. First, solar cells are the core components that convert sunlight into electrical energy. These cells are typically made of silicon and can be purchased individually or in bulk, often pre-tabbed for convenience.
Key Takeaway 2: To assemble the solar cells, lay them out in rows, connect them in series, solder tabbing wire across the bus bars, test the voltage output, affix them to the backing board with silicone sealant, and protect them with an encapsulant.
In order to make your own solar cell, you will need a collection of materials that you can source from basic electronic components stores or online. The primary material for your solar cell is silicon. It’s an abundant, non-toxic element that forms a great base for converting solar energy.
The photovoltaic cells are placed in a piece of equipment, called solar stringer, that interconnects the cells in a series by soldering a coated copper wire, called ribbon, on the bus bar of the cell. This delicate operation creates the string that is the basic element that creates the electrical series in the photovoltaic module.
For the backing, a sturdy material like plywood or metal adds durability and strength. Further, tabbing wire and bus wire are necessary to connect individual solar cells together in a series to increase voltage and in parallel to increase current. A soldering iron and solder will ensure secure connections between wires and cells.
Some of this equipment can be integrated into the production line according to the wished level of automation. The photovoltaic cells are placed in a piece of equipment, called solar stringer, that interconnects the cells in a series by soldering a coated copper wire, called ribbon, on the bus bar of the cell.
