I have access to several solar panels, about 90w each, around 2' x 4'.
These were damaged and needed to be replaced. I don't recal the brand, but can find it if I need to.
The actual area where the pv panels themselves are broken only involves a couple of cells, and I thought I could wire around them.
Here's the kicker:
These look like they are built on a thin, flexible plastic sheet, with the pv surface glued to a tempered glass face. A very localized fracture caused the entire glass front to fracture into approx 1/4" pieces, and they are still stuck, REALLY STUCK, to the PV surface of the panel.
If I try to seperate a piece of glass from the pv panel surface, the adhesive appears to be very flexible, but is sticky enough that it peels the surface of the pv cells off as you remove it.
Is there some sort of solvent that would likely disolve the glue, without destroying the pv panel behind it? As I mentioned, it appears that the pv panels are built on a very thin, flexible plastic sheet, something like acetone would probably melt the whole thing.
Thanks in Advance,
