📝 To build a 100W solar panel you need:
➥ 6×6 solar cells kit:
2mm tabbing wire (pre solder coated).
5mm tabbing wire (buss wire).
Solder Wire. (Used to tin the solder iron, also used to solder the tab cells on the buss wire).
Flux Pen. Prevents beading of the solder.
Strapping Tape (sure tape).
Regular tape.
(useful to hold the solar cells).
Sillicone Paste-like seal (UV christaline).
Untabbed Cells
Solar Panel Aluminium Frame
Clear Epoxy Resin 40 ounces / 1Kg. + Epoxy Hardener 2 Epoxy resin x 1 Hardener.
➥ Best to use Silicone Elastomer Sylgard 184
➥ 6 or 8 gauge AWG Solar Wire (10 gauge 30Amps, 8 gauge 40Amps, 6 gauge 55Amps)
➥ Solder Iron 60/80W
➥ Multimeter. (Volts and Amps).
➥ 20 Amps PWM Charge controller
➥ 300/600W DC/AC Inverter
➥ 12V 48Ah Depp Cycle Battery
12V 90Ah Depp Cycle Battery
12V 120Ah Depp Cycle Battery

✦ Polycrystalline Solar Cells
+ The process used to make polycrystalline silicon is simpler and cost less.
+ Polycrystalline solar panels tend to have slightly lower heat tolerance than monocrystalline solar panels.
– The efficiency of polycrystalline-based solar panels is 14-16%.
– Lower space-efficiency. You need to cover more surface to output the same electrical power as Monocrystalline cells.

✦ Monocrystalline Solar Cells
+ Monocrystalline solar cells have the highest efficiency rates.
+ Monocrystalline silicon solar cells are space-efficient.
+ Monocrystalline cells have a long lifespan.
+ Monocrystalline solar panels tend to be more efficient in warm weather.
– Monocrystalline solar panels are the most expensive.
