pv module

One of the coolest ways to generate electricity from the sun is to use solar panels. They’re also known as PV modules (pv for photovoltaic). It is important to have the PV modules so we can use the renewable energy in the sun to run our homes and our schools. How do PV modules work?

PV modules consist of many small cells called solar cells. Such cells are constructed from substances like silicon that can convert sunlight into electricity. When the PV module receives sunlight, the solar cells absorb the solar energy and convert it to electricity. And this energy can be used to run things (lights, fans, even computers)!

Understanding the Function of PV Modules

PV panels generate electricity directly from sunlight in a process known as the photovoltaic effect. An electric current is produced when sunlight strikes the solar cells in the PV module. That electric current is then fed into an inverter that alters it from direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), which we can use to power our homes. It’s magic,” but really, it’s science!
