Check out first clip in the series for a better understanding. He uses the tempered glass under the cells to take some of the heat so that the cells don't warp from the heat. He also uses CL-Flux, he swears by it along with a dental pick. I found the flux on ebay for about $6 including s/h. I am actually using broken 3x5 cells in my first solar panel build. Good luck in your quest. I have been reading up on the solar energy specs etc for a while, but am finally getting the courage to try a build.

Reason: Want to add more concise information
Can anyone give me some tabbing hints for tabbing 36 6x6 solar cells minimizing the breaking of the cells,what type of solder is recommended,and why the solar cell concave when soldering.
any help will be appreciated
