Connecting broken solar panel with wire/solder

[Keitai]

I've got this solar which powers a pond pump, the connection to solar screen has broken, how can I repair it? Solder with wire?

How much would it cost to replace the panel?

If you know how it supposed to connect then solder it and then apply a big lump of hybrid polymer sealant to weather proof the the repair.

Just drip solder down the hole? There's no clear connector down there

Come on, I just found a 6V 2W panel on eBay for 3 quid

Can't really tell from the photo how it is electrically connected. Maybe you can use a multimeter to see which bits produce a voltage?

Will that connect to my cable and pump? The problem is just the connection which has snapped off between panel and connecting box. Shove a load of copper wire and solder down the hole?

Yeah, crack on that’ll be fine.
