A solar photovoltaic system or PV system is an electricity generation system with a combination of various components such as PV panels, inverter, battery, mounting structures, etc. Nowadays, of the various renewable energy technologies available, PV is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy options.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
To comprehend the intricate choreography of the photovoltaic effect, one must first grasp the fundamental concepts of solar radiation and semiconductor physics. Solar radiation, the radiant energy emitted by the sun, serves as the primary source of energy for PV systems.
Photovoltaic technology, often abbreviated as PV, represents a revolutionary method of harnessing solar energy and converting it into electricity. At its core, PV relies on the principle of the photovoltaic effect, where certain materials generate an electric current when exposed to sunlight.
Without any involvement in the thermal process, the photovoltaic cell can transform solar energy directly into electrical energy. Compared to conventional methods, PV modules are advantageous in terms of reliability, modularity, durability, maintenance, etc.
