Scalability
• Common sourcing and manufacturing for economies of scale
• X-Y flex, capacity flex, voltage flex
• Module Height and Width
Accommodate app-specific S/P configurations
• Max. S-configuration constrained by CVTN (# of Voltage inputs)
• P-configuration determined by app-specific energy requirement
• S/P configuration options dependent on overall pack geometry, # of modules, current collector layout
Height is scalable
Length is scalable
Width is fixed

Parallel connection to vehicle junction box
All of these provide the benefit of improving costs for inherently low volume markets,
giving them the advantages experienced by higher volume applications
