According to you, can your solar cells configuration can increase the total of its efficiency than when using the common arrancement. Thanks, and happy with you. Interesting research of you mr.Kevin.

I need to use the thicker bus wire to make this connection. That will be my next challenge. Part two is here.

I'm not sure how much power I'll get till it's all done. I read the plexiglass will absorb 10% of the light right off. I hope to power a box fan for our Mars habitat project.

They need to be able to move around a bit because of the expansion due to heat buildup. The plexiglass shouldn't touch the cells. The plexiglass should last a few yeas before it becomes dull due to the sunlight and weathering. I'm looking into getting tempered glass for my next project. Hey Randy,

How do those cells attach to the panel or does the plexiglass hold them in place? Looking good, Kevin. How do those cells attach to the panel or does the plexiglass hold them in place?
