Solar panels are a costly and significant investment. Therefore, protecting them from harm should be a top priority. Unfortunately, moisture and water are common ways for solar panels to become damaged or broken. Safekeeping solar panels from both of these threats is a simple, inexpensive procedure, and doing so might save the solar panel owner a bundle if carried out correctly.

Instructions

things you'll need:
Strips of silicone
Sheets of Plexiglas
1
Set a thick strip of silicone between each cell when putting the solar panel together, in order to prevent moisture seepage.

2
Use Plexiglas instead of glass as the face of your solar panel. Plexiglas is less liable to break and therefore safe from hailstorms or accidents.

3
Glue adhesive silicone to each side of your solar panel(s), adding additional sealant and protection from water to your commodity.

Pretty much everything in this thread is incorrect. Where did you copy/paste this from?
