The Big Solar Backtrack

An urgent message from the UK solar industry. Tens of thousands of jobs are at risk within the next few weeks. Act Now: www.oursolarfuture.org.uk In 2007 David Cameron pledged his support for feed-in tariffs for renewable energy. On the 31st October 2011 his government slashed feed-in tariffs by 50%. This move threatens 4000 businesses and tens of thousands of solar jobs in the UK. Greenest government ever? We ask David Cameron to ‘Cut, don’t kill solar’, support our solar future at www.oursolarfuture.org.uk

DIY Solar Electric Panel SOLDER FREE connections solar power generation

greenpowerscience.com This is a good option for anyone wanting to experiment with DIY solar panels but do not want to use hot solder. This works good if you have a good clean connection and you are willing to sacrifice about 5% of the solar cells over all watt output. You can actually make smaller panels this way increasing the wattage per square meter and saving on glass dimensions. This option works perfectly for joining together broken cells and making artistic designs with solar scraps that really produce power. This option is also perfect for solar model builders as this makes the panel one semi-rigid piece.
