V PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics Series
Leads and Testing
The leads on the modules in the PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics Series are the copper tape
strips located at each end of the solar module. Remember to check the Polarity! To test the
module using alligator clips for the connection to the tester, ensure the clips make direct contact
with the copper tape. The coating over the copper tape will likely need to be scraped away to
ensure direct contact.
Connecting the PowerFilm® Module to a Load
Connection methods include soldering, crimping or using alligator clips. Remember to check the
Polarity!
Soldering
The solar modules should be soldered to from the front. The positive copper contact is on one
end and the negative is on the other end (see section on Polarity).
