This group, open source ecology, is effective on many open source technologies. I would suggest going to their site openfarmtech(dot)com and if you like what OSE is doing, become a TRUE FAN , which means a donation of $10 a month for 2 being. They are at a 100 right fans right now but their goal is a 1000. The sooner we can get these open source tools and technologies off the ground, the sooner we can ALL start living sustainable, truly free lives… !
is it a weller soldering iron ??
im gonna make my house solar or at least my garage since is the part of the house that consumes more electricity 
can you please tell me everywhere did you buy your solar panels?
Thanks for the ear
When I solder my tab wire to the Neg. of the p.v. cell it comes off. How i do it: Flux the contacts, put a little bit of soder on the tab wire, Soder it to the p.v. cell. Jesssss I just can’t seem to make it attach, HELP> W/ suggestions?
It’s on a spool roll on the right side of this video. He touches it with the very hot soldering iron and the solder melts on the tip. I prefer to brace everything and just control the solder feed and the iron. This is very simple, I’ve was a Bench Tech for many being.
Everyone’s discussion about the solar deal that’s going on @ Solar-Deals(.)com. 3 x 6 Evergreen Solar Cells for $0.70 per watt. Starting at $149.99! It’s better then on ebay and cheaper!
The special deal is limited and only 30 days left! Just thought, I’d let you know.
Visit Solar-Deals(.)com!
make more vidios fantastic job keep it up
I have built solar panels. Very simple and cheap now.
tabbing wire already has solder on it,flux pen is flux to help spread the solder when heated
hello
im fromthe zeitgeiist group .
have u seen the new NANOSOLAR film cells
chek it out
need another video showing everywhere his solder comes from? I have not yet tried his method. I would but how do you dip into solder?
I built my own Solar Panels for UNDER $100 which currently power my 1700 Square Foot home, using the plans at:

Hey, check out my website at ScientificallyGreener(Dot) com and get all the new and improved Equipments to build or buy your own solar and wind energy systems ScientificallyGreener(Dot) com is a website that sells the most modern environmental products available
I plot on buying a soldering gun, which is the best type and how much Watts do I need.. is a 50w excellent enough
I just got my 5″ monocrystalline solar cells at Solar-Deals(.)com for a fantastic fee! I’m going to use these for my DIY solar panel.
Restoring industrial hemp to its rightful place in agriculture today will return much control to our farmers, and away from the multinational corporations that dominate our political process and ruin our environment. These hub-intensive, non-sustainable industries have usurped our economic resources and clear-cut huge tracts of the world’s forests, given us massive oil spills, wars, toxic waste, massive worldwide pollution, global warming and the destruction of entire ecosystems.
Hi there, I believe that the video and the explanations are OK, what really worries me is the heat produced by the soldering iron which may ruin the cells. Usually is reccomended to
help oneself with slowing down the temperature immediately after this soldering job.
is there conclusion video? everywhere it sais heres how you assemble them and do all the wiring and everything?
No Tommy , I don’t reckon so. AFAIK this is still under Development.
Considering the fiscal Crisis, it also might be that some Huge Lobby Group will just sandbox this for various reasons.
Let’s see. I’d really like to see this coming soon.
everywhere else in so cal can I buy cells from? Nano solar is out of them or a touch.
Nano Solar is a place to hold the tiles? Their web site is pretty much saying they have none for sale. Is there another resource? i really want to buy some and build a few panels.
Try feeding the solder onto the iron whilst you are soldering, that way you can keep it flowing and not waste so much time, perhaps the heat will hurt the cells but it will be a better technique for tinning the wires.
50% off entire store. Limited time offer. Limited solar cells. 5″ solar cells 2 watt @ $1.20/watt. Offer ends June 7th, 2009.

OMG what are you doing there? The (maybe) only speciality of these tabbing wires are their being already-solder carrying. So, u removed the solder from them in the previous video and now you are again soldering them
Really I reckon that you couldn’t solder the tabbing wires on the panels, so you tried this way. But, I know your soldering iron which is very very cheap and never let you work on suc a solar cell. Try using a better one, so you will never waste your time.
The Cells are made from Silicon ( Main Make pleased of common Sand )
You can not make them by yourself.
Check out the next Gen cells from Nano Solar Inc. ( in Palo Alto )
Made from : Copper (Cu) indium (In) Gallium (Ga) Sulphur (S) Selenium at about 1/10th of the Cost of the previous Generation.
If this gets off the Ground, every single Residential Unit in the US and Europe can go Solar.
