Soldering 192 solar cells is going to suck! I spent around 8 hours prepping and soldering and only managed to complete 30 solar cells. As I was soldering away, I realized that I need to attach these cells to the tree somehow. I am thinking about using hot glue but if that melts the foam, I will have to resort to some sort of latex glue. As far as esthetics, I am liking the way that the solar cells look like once I soldered wires to them.
They are not looking as bad as I thought.
I will be using blue and white wires; blue being positive and white is the ground.
These are some snapshots of the soldered solar cells.
This is what they will look like on the tree.
I did some observations of the leafs around here and it seems they are grouped in twos and fours. This is good because it will be the same set up I will use.
