Abstract: A solar module having at least two substring groups, each including an upper substring having solar cells connected in series and arranged in a matrix having two adjacent columns and a plurality of rows, and a lower substring having solar cells connected in series and arranged in a matrix having two adjacent columns and a plurality of rows. The lower and upper substrings include the same number of solar cells. A cross-connector interconnects the lower and upper substrings electrically in parallel forming the substring group. A bypass diode is arranged electrically in the cross-connector, and cross-connectors of each substring group are interconnected electrically in series. Two columns of the lower substring include a different number of solar cells and two columns of the upper substring include a different number of solar cells, such that the number of solar cells of the upper substring and of the lower substring is odd.

Abstract: The invention relates to an LED light (1) comprising a plurality of multichromatic LEDs (2, 3, 4, 5) that form at least LED groups (17) featuring the colors blue, green, and red for additive color mixing; at least one additional LED (5) that is associated with the LED group has a color from the LED group that differs from the colors of the LED group (17).
