The development of this solar Dev Kit is in its final stages: we are now finalising the STL files, instruction manual, and setting up a more streamline way of producing the kits to be able to ship them widely. Of course, we will be providing clear instructions and components list ASAP so that you can make it yourself without needing to go through Biosphere Solar (the project behind this idea!) to get started on making your own solar panel.
In brief, you can already expect the following component to be necessary for making a dev kit:
- (Soldered) solar cells
- Dogbones
- Backsheet (plexiglass)
- Frontsheet (plexiglass)
- Cellbed (ABS - 3D print files soon available!)
- Screws
- Insulating rubber (to prevent moisture ingress and protect the solar cells
- Electronics (e.g. DC/DC converter, cables)

It seems like you're interested in exploring the Biosphere Solar Dev Kit. While I don't have specific information on a product or kit with that exact name as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I can offer some general advice on getting started with solar development kits or projects. https://drain1.ca/Please note that you may need to refer to the specific documentation or resources provided with the Biosphere Solar Dev Kit for accurate and up-to-date information.
