Attempting to disassemble/salvage solar cells from a tempered glass solar panel (Why you shouldn't)

I was attempting to cut out an 8 call section of this solar panel for a project. As you see in the video this ended up being a total failure, due to the nature of tempered glass. But, some important lessons were learned. 1) Tempered glass cannot be cut without destroying it, or heating it to thousands of degrees to de temper it. 2) The glass panel at least in the case of this solar panel provides almost all of the structural integrity of the panel, aside from the outer aluminum frame. 3) Attempting to maneuver, cut, manipulate, or otherwise work with the panel while the front has been shattered, will likely destroy some if not all of the cells. 4(and this is by far the most useful lesson)) you can cut and peel away to access the tabs connecting the cells of the panel, and I'm certain you could rewire a solar panel to a different configuration this way. The biggest thing that sucks about all of this, I had an almost brand new perfectly working and very nice solar panel that I could have just tapped into the right section of to do the testing I wanted to do, and then still had a fully working panel. But this didn't occur to me until the end and I wanted the smaller piece to try to use for my project and I ended up learning the hard way that's just not practically doable. Hopefully someone thinking of doing something like this, sees this and can learn from my mistakes. Also I'd like to thank Nick at https://astralpowersolutions.ca/ for giving me such a great deal on this panel. He was super enthusiastic in the project I was working on and I actually showed this video to him first cause he really wanted to see how it came along. If anyone shows interest I might make a video about what exactly the project is that I needed an 8 cell solar panel for.
