Frank Said:

What type of soldering gun should I use to solder solar cells?

We Answered:

Without knowing the type of cells and the types of leads, this question cannot be answered. However as a professional I like my iron really hot. Then by being able to solder joints fast, the overall heat load a part gets is lower.

I could do the job with any of these irons or guns.

what type of solar rays are absorbed by SOLAR CELLS?

We Answered:

Visible rays of light, solar panels covered with photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. In order to make a solar panel several modules have to be connected together, etc, here's more info if interested http://renewableenergyarticles.blogspot.…

Edgar Said:

what type of soldering is used in the solar cells.?

We Answered:

Individual solar cells are somewhat difficult to solder to. Self-adhesive metal stained-glass tape makes for the easiest soldering job--the tape holds itself in place while you solder. Use electronics solder that contains 2% silver. One side of the cell is (+), the other (-). Cells are connected in various combinations of series and parallel, depending on the intended use.

Dawn Said:

Solar cells convert what type of energy into electrical energy?

We Answered:

probably b, as photons are an EM wave/particle.

You could also argue c, nuclear, as the photons come from the sun, where they are energized by a nuclear reaction.

But the correct answer, not there, is solar energy.
