Photovoltaic (PV) technology generates energy using devices that absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy through semiconductor materials. These solar cells are then connected to form larger power generating units called modules or panels.
How does photovoltaic technology work?
Photovoltaic (PV) materials and devices that convert sunlight into electrical energy (also known as solar electricity). A single PV device is called a cell. A small PV cell, typically produces 1 to 2 (W) of power. These cells are made up of many semiconductor materials and they are usually smaller than the thickness of 4 hairs. To withstand being outdoors for many years, the cells are sandwiched between protective materials that are a combination of glass and/or plastic.
To increase the power output of photovoltaic (PV) cells, photovoltaic panels will be connected in series to form larger modules. These modules can be used individually or several modules can be connected together to form a giant photovoltaic array. One or more arrays can then be connected to the grid as part of a complete photovoltaic system. Because of this modular structure, photovoltaic (PV) systems can be built to meet almost any power need, small or large.
PV modules and arrays are only one part of a PV system. The system also includes mounting structures that direct the panels towards the sun and components that take the direct current (DC) generated by the modules and convert it into alternating current (AC). Used to power all devices.
