B) Use a soldering iron to heat up the wires and gently remove the clipped tabbing wires, and then apply flux and solder another full 6 inch long tabbing wire. These cells are really very good and very wholesome cells. Some tiny chips are possible, but they are very rare in this category. Because the tabs have been clipped, we rate them A-.This set of new 3"x6" solar cells are string ribbon multi crystalline cells made by a reputable and major world class solar manufacturer, and the cells have the smallest carbon foot print - they waste the least silicon in making these cells. The cells are the original factory standard cell size. The cells have never been used on panels, but they have tabs being soldered on the front side. We are fairly confident that you will like these cells. Our sorting team tries to do as good as a job possible to categorize the cells. We stand by our products. If you think the solar cells don't meet your expectations, send them back within 7 days for a guaranteed refund or replacement. From the enormous number of cells that we shipped this past couple of months, returns have been essentially negligible.
