What are Solar PV Modules?
Solar PV modules are made by connecting together photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar cells. They are manufactured from semiconductor materials like crystalline silicon. Solar modules convert the light energy captured from the sun into electric energy. The electric energy so produced is used for lighting residential and commercial establishments.
How do Solar PV Modules Work?
A single PV cell is usually manufactured in 12.5 cm and 15 cm square sizes and generates only 1 or 2 watts of power. Solar PV modules are used for boosting the power output of PV cells by connecting them. When PV cells (present in the solar modules) absorb sunlight, the energy present in the photons of light is transferred to the semiconductor material. The electrons are made to flow through the semiconductor material as electric current.
