We take a look at how DIY, B-grade, "6X6" solar cells are delivered, and I share my experiences of extracting old window glass, as well as giving a first go at tabbing the cells, using normal 60/40 leaded solder, and a relatively powerful soldering station.

The cells and tabbing wire were purchased from Off-Grid Europe, through Ebay (no affiliation), for roughly $0,50/W in total.
