    5.3 ELECTRICAL LAYOUT YOU CAN FIND THE DETAILED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS IN THE PRODUCT DATA SHEET. MODULE SELECTION Only connect modules of the same type and the same power class. This is the only way to achieve optimal yields. SAFETY FACTOR It may occur during normal operation that the module provides a greater current and / or a higher voltage than that determined under standardised test conditions.
