How would you connect them? Would it be best to use an insulator to back them like a thing piece of wood or cardboard?
How would you protect them? Plexiglass? Would a simple clear epoxy block a significant amount of the ultraviolet rays?
I have about 50 of these cells, so I should be able to get some decent voltage out of them...although I haven't decided on a specific application.
So how would you connect them? Yes, I realize they aren't going to be able to power much more than a few LCDs, but I really just wanted to experiment with solar from the ground up.
On top of this, a piece of 3mm acrylic or polycarbonate (glass filters out a good deal of UV, so makes them less efficient) will be good protection.
