Tabbing problem

[edinjapan]

I've usually bought already tabbed solar cells but I recently bought some really inexpensive cells from Taiwan. They're not tabbed and are somewhat different than the usual stuff I find in Akihabara. I'd like some assistance with the tabbing them. I've attached a photo of the front and back of the cells in question. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

No need to "tab" this type of cell, actually these are mini panels. There are small copper connection points for positive and negative on the back, just solder your wires to those. If you are putting more than one of these in series just connect the positive of one to the negative of the next and so on. If you are paralleling then just hook all the positives together and all the negatives together.

How many of these are you going to connect together? What are you trying to accomplish? What are the specs on these panels?

Good luck,
Green

They are 6V 1.5W 250mA panels that are 15cm x 15 cm in size. I'm going to use them to run some small aquarium air pumps.

I've used some panels similar to those for DIY outdoor lights and a cell phone charger. They work great. I was able to pick them up for very cheap as well.

the pumps are going to run a small hydroponics system to keep me and the rabbit in veggies.
