SOON TO COME

Solar panel workshop. A workshop to show you how to make your own solar panels using chipped solar cells. Chipped or broken solar cells work just as good as whole solar cells. We'll show you how to obtain the solar cells for a fraction of the cost of whole solar cells, how to soldier the cells together, build a weather-proof case, how to hook the solar panel to a battery charging unit and inverter.

Check back regularly for date and time of workshop.
