The next step in making your own solar panels. We show you how to tin your tabbing wire so that it will solder easier to the solar cells.

See www.TheDIYWorld.com for more info and how to order our new book The DIY Solar Panel Book, where you can learn how to make your own solar panels from scratch.

More videos to follow. We will be posting better quality videos later as well. Just wanted to get these up for now to start helping people solder.
