Photovoltaic Cells Solar Panel

A photovoltaic system also pv system or solar power system is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics it consists of an arrangement of several components including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current as well as mounting cabling and other electrical.

The grape solar 300 watt monocrystalline pv solar panel uses high efficiency solar cells made from quality silicon material for high module conversion efficiency long term output stability and reliability. Photovoltaics often shortened as pv gets its name from the process of converting light photons to electricity voltage which is called the photovoltaic effect. High transmittance low iron tempered glass for durability and enhanced impact resistance. Photovoltaic pv devices generate electricity directly from sunlight via an electronic process that occurs naturally in certain types of material called semiconductors.

Electrons in these materials are freed by solar energy and can be induced to travel through an electrical circuit powering electrical devices or sending electricity to the grid. One is positive anode and the other is negative cathode. Simply put a solar panel works by allowing photons or particles of light to knock electrons free from atoms generating a flow of electricity. Solar panels actually comprise many smaller units.

The solar cell is a two terminal device.
