Description

45 Watt Solar Panel Kit

Everything you need to build your own 45W solar panel kit. Get started with solar energy, and build your own solar panel kit. Since 1999 we’ve helped students and teachers “tinker” with solar energy using our solar cell kits.

We include the accessories you'll need.

We include the accessories you need in our prepackage kits. If you need more, we also offer them below individually.
  • Soldering Iron – make sure you have a good quality soldering iron when soldering solar cells.
  • Flux Pen – Is essential when building a solar panel. Not all flux pens are created equal. Make sure the flux will not react with your solar cells after 1-2 years (80% of flux on market will destroy solar cell)
  • Tabbing – You’ll need 2mm and 5mm tabbing. The 2mm is for interconnecting between the solar cells, and 5mm between your “strings” of solar cells.

Plan a little before building your solar panels.

  • How many watts do you need? 
  • What voltage do you need?
  • Where will the solar panel go? 
  • How will you encapsulate it?
