sometimes. depends on the size and location of the breakage.
it's a lot of extra work to check each indivdual piece but you can sometimes buy lots of imperfect cells at a pretty good savings...

Can a semi-conductive adhesive be used to bond them together?
If you use something that is semi-conductive you will be introducing a resistor into the circuit and thus converting some of your electrical power into heat so you won't be getting the original volts/watts.
Your best bet to return...
Well after my Casio calculator circuit died, I just had a crazy idea of putting all these broken calculators' solar/PV cells together to create a 9V, 5V power source to use it on my breadboard with PIC microcontroller. Anyone gave it a try...
You will need many solar cells to power anything. I like to take power supply out of obsolete scrap computer and use it. Some of the wires are already 5V.

I'm looking for anywhere that sells broken solar cells (by the pound, bag, piece, whatever). Thanks.
Hey Mike,
I googled "broken solar panels" and found a couple links to ebay where people are selling them. plus I found a few other places. Hope this helps!
I used a solar power calculator on SharpUSA. And found that $50,000 worth of solar cells would save only $500 per year in costs. Is it possible to sell these kinds of new technologies? That would take 35 years to payback. With the economy about to...
I have only $5000 in to my solar set up O but then I installed and have done all the up keep my self I use 12 volt DC and 120 ac. I spend $300 to $500 a year with add on's. It has been paying for it self..
I am not off the grid but I...
I've tried using diferent tools and even heating them to reduce cell's fragility without luck. They always break in some other direction. THANKS
the term is cleaving. You want to cleave the wafer along a crystal axis. The easiest way to do this is get a very hard clean flat surface. put the wafer/cell/device on this surface. get a very very sharp fine point metal tool. push the very point...

Skyline Solar breaks ground on solar power plants at two military bases
Skyline Solar of Mountain View is set to announce Tuesday it has broken ground on two 100-kilowatt solar power plants at domestic military bases -- Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California and Fort Bliss in Texas.
Skyline's contract from the Department of Defense is worth a modest $1.85 million, but the company hopes it will go a long way toward proving its product. Many Silicon Valley cleantech startups regard the military as an ideal early adopter, willing to take risks on new technologies that need to be tested in the field before they can be fully commercialized.
Skyline's contract was awarded under the Defense Department's Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, which aims to identify technologies that have the highest potential for widespread deployment. Soladigm, based in Milpitas, and Cogenra Solar of Mountain View have also been awarded contracts under the program.
Efficiency Record for Silicon Ink Solar Cells Broken by ...
Innovalight has a proprietary platform, named Cougar, which can adapt existing solar cell manufacturing processes that companies now own, to their cheaper silicon ink solar cells production line. There is only one step that needs to be added to current manufacturing lines, with – they say – huge profits.
“We continue to push toward our goal of delivering over 20 percent conversion efficiency to our customers,” said Homer Antoniadis, chief technology officer at Innovalight. “Our patented solar cell process with silicon ink is simple and optimized for use with silicon wafers and widely adopted industry printing tools,” he added.
