Principle

Series or parallel connection of solar cells can be used to change voltage and current and to adjust them to the consumer's needs. The short-circuit current of solar cells is proportional to the irradiance, while their voltage output is nearly independent of it.

Benefits

  • No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arragned and quick setup
  • Contact saftey due to puzzle blocks system
  • Corrosion-free gold plated contacts
  • Doubled earning sucess: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components can be seen unterside
