I have a ton of little solar cells that I'm soldering together to make solar panels of different amps and voltages. The problem is the cells are VERY fragile, so a finished panel will need to be covered with glass or plastic of some kind.

What I'm wondering, is there a certain kind of glass or plastic that would be best to use, as in, what lets the most light through, or doesn't block certain wavelengths that solar panels use most?
