[RE-wrenches] Teacher wants a cutaway PV module

[Windy Dankoff]

Mick,

If you have a junk module, I'm fairly sure you can cut it up by using  
a lapidary saw - the wet diamond slow-speed kind that gem and mineral  
people use. I mean I'm sure you can cut it. Fairly sure it will not go  
to pieces. I'm not sure there's much to be learned by looking at it,  
but ...
