Page 2 Hello and thank you for using the Solar Voltages DIY kit. We hope you have a fun build! The Solar Voltages kit contains: 1x PCB with SMT capacitors pre-installed 20x Photodiodes 2x Thonkiconn Jacks + Knurled Nuts 2x 1” stranded core wires To build this DIY Kit you will need: -Soldering iron -Good solder (recommend lead free no-clean type, Kester brand or similar)
Page 3 2. Stop after you have placed a few photodiodes and double check that they are all facing the right direction. We did 10 Photodiodes at once in this example, but 4-6 at a time is probably easiest. 3. Place a strip of Painter’s or Masking Tape over the photodiodes and stick the tape to the board on either side.

Make sure each pad has a good connection with enough solder, that you don’t miss any, and that you don’t mistakenly solder any pads that don’t yet have Photodiodes placed! 6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the Photodiodes are soldered in place. When you’re done, every Photodiode should be facing the same direction with the dot and line facing downwards.

You have completed your Solar Voltages build and it’s ready for testing. You can make sure it’s working by monitoring the output voltages using a Multimeter in response to light, or simply patch it to other modules and start playing with it.
