ABSTRACT:
A solar panel assembly (10) includes a power generating sheet (22) having two output terminals (30,32), and an electric cable (20) soldered at one end to terminals (30) and (32). A frame member is anchored to the solar panel in overlying relation to the terminals and an epoxy material (62) fills a cavity (58) defined by the frame member (40). A case (42) covers the frame member (40). The case includes an upper member (44) and a lower member (46) which are snap fitted together through apertures in the solar panel. The case (42) includes a tension relieving device which prevents tension on the cable (20) from being transferred to the cable end connected to the terminals (30) and (32). The epoxy provides a water resistant seal which allows the solar panel to be used in hostile environments.
