Comments on: My DIY Solar Panel Experiment Part 6 http://rantsville.com/archives/380 Not an angry rant blog (well maybe) Wed, 06 Jul 2011 03:58:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Curmudgeon http://rantsville.com/archives/380#comment-51 Curmudgeon Sat, 02 Oct 2010 03:50:50 +0000 http://rantsville.com/?p=380#comment-51 Truth be told Jim, conversations with solar cell suppliers and DIY panel builders convinced me because 6 X 6 cells are extremely fragile they may not be a wise DIY choice. Aside from an experiment with 36 - 4X4 cells that were highly touted by the seller and proved less than impressive to me, I'm work on a panel with 36 - 3X6 cells. That's a project in process. Over the spring and summer most of my time was spent finding a different dwelling and moving (we're still moving). That put pretty much everything else on hold and only now there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel.
