Technical FAQs 4

What is solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels.

How do solar panels generate electricity?

This is where electricity generated by the panel flows into an electrical system of a home or a power grid. Now that you understand how solar panels are constructed, let’s dive into how they generate electricity. There are two primary ways in which solar panels generate electricity: thermal conversion and photovoltaic effect.

What are the different types of solar panels?

Solar panels: These are the flat panels that can be seen on rooftops or solar farms. They contain PV cells made from silicon or other materials. When sunlight hits the PV cells, it creates an electric current. Inverter: PV cells produce DC power, but most appliances and the power grid run on AC.

How much power does a solar panel generate?

Solar panel power output is measured in watts. Under ideal sunlight and temperature conditions, power output ratings range from 200 W to 350 W. When solar arrays are installed on a property, they must be mounted at an angle to best receive sunlight.
