Tabb Wire 200 Foot Roll .16mm X 2mm Pre Tinned for Solar Tabbing and DIY Solar
Tabbing is the term used for connecting ribbon wire from the back of one solar cell to the front of the next. Ribbon wire is a flat rolled copper wire coated in tin solder. Some tabbing wire is still made using lead solder which requires less heat to solder. Tab Kit for joining up to 36-3x6 solar cells or 18-6x6 solar cells. The products in this kit will help you achieve the best results when making your solar panels. I recommend using a variable temperature soldering iron with a 1/8" chisel tip set to 830 F when applying the tab wire to the cells. At this temperature you will find that the solder goes on smooth without cracking cells. If the solder does not adhere to the cell check the application of the flux.
