Technology - PHOTOVOLTAIC

Solar Photovoltaic panels are devices that capture energy from sunlight and converts it into electricity. Solar cells are known as photovoltaic (PV) cells, meaning "light-electricity". Solar photovoltaic panels contain rows of solar cells (semiconductor devices made of crystalline silicon) electrically connected together and encapsulated in a weatherproof packaging. Multiple solar panels connected together are referred to as an "array".

A solar PV system consists of the solar panels, a mounting system (roof or ground), charge controllers, batteries, and an inverter to convert DC electrical current to AC. The higher the efficiency of the solar panel, the more power can be generated per solar panel.
