Solar panels are complex modules of photo-voltaic cells. If you break down that word, ‘photo-voltaic’ it literally means light (photo) – electricity (voltaic). These photo-voltaic cells accumulate sun energy and turn it into electricity. Though the system may seem very complex, from the technical point of view things are not difficult at all.

Depending on the necessity of the user, the solar panels vary in size according to the number of photo-voltaic modules that they incorporate. Modules are held together by special wiring systems and they function as a field unit. Continue reading →
