how to cut solar cells?

I have large solar cells (5inchx5inch) and I need to cut them into smaller pieces (1in). Can this be done using laser cutting equipment used for metal cutting or are there other techniques which are more suitable for such a task?

Solar cells are very brittle so I'm not sure if something used for metal is a good idea. I'd recommend a wet saw.
