go PV 1. From solar cells to modules Cell interconnections 1 cell 0.6 V, 8 A 3 cells in series Vx3 0.6 V 888 1.8 V, 8 A 1.8 V 3 cells in parallel 1x3 0.6 V, 24 A EPFL Commercial c-Si modules have 60/72 series-connected solar cells Series connection to get high voltage • → Cells must be current-matched 0.6 V Parallel connection currents add up → Voltages of cells/strings need to be balanced A.
