Anyone ever solder to the traces on these things?
Any good things to say about conductive epoxy?

I have a couple of broken panels and want to fix them if easily
possible. (To power my radios, of course...)

Any insights most welcome.


Are they old panels? They do deteriorate with time. You might have
panels where the wafer cells stopped working.

If you can get it apart I suppose you could check around the panel with
a volt meter to find out which wafers have broken connections if that is
the problem.

If you find broken traces use a piece of wire over the break and solder
with high temperature solder.
