About Solar Panels
  • Solar panels (also known as "PV panels") are used
    to convert light from the sun into electricity
  • Solar panels can be used for a wide variety of
    applications including remote power systems for
    cabins, telecommunications equipment, remote
    sensing
  • Also of course for the production of electricity
    by residential and commercial solar electric
    systems.

How Do Solar Panels Work?
  • Solar PV panels capture sunlight, causing
    electrons in the panels silicon cells to release
    energy that becomes direct current (DC)
    electricity
  • An inverter converts the DC into alternating
    current (AC) electricity, making it useable for
    homes and businesses

4
How Do Solar Panels Work?
  • Excess electricity can be stored in a battery or
    fed back into the power grid
  • Additional electricity can be pulled from the
    grid if you need more power than your solar
    panels can generate

5
Types Of PV Solar Panels
  • There are two main types of PV solar panels used
    in solar systems

Multicrystalline
Monocrystalline
