Solar Soldering

Soldering the solar panels on the PCB's was one of the great challanges. At least i thougt it would be very tricky, but it turned out that it is actually quite easy. For the purpose we bought the reflow kit together with the controller from www.reflow-kit.com. The equipment was very useful and made soldering the panels very easy. It will also be very useful for the other PCB's and is for sure a very good investment. The results can be seen on the following picture. showing the first of our solar panel boards:
