How PV Modules Work
Put simply, photovoltaics (PV) are the
direct conversion of sunlight into electrical power.
It’s a process that involves the release of
positive and negative particles as a result of the introduction of
light into solar cells.
The electrical circuit is created by many solar
cells connected in series within special PV modules.
The consequent physical reaction in the solar cells
generates direct current, which can be converted to alternating
current, depending on requirements.
As the PV modules that perform this function have
no moving parts, the system requires only minimal maintenance, and
is silent in operation. Best of all, they generate electricity –
without generating any of the harmful emissions currently
threatening our environment and climate. |
