What is a photovoltaic module?

Photovoltaic modules, commonly known as solar panels, are a web that captures solar power to transform it into sustainable energy. A semiconductor material, usually silicon, is the basis of each individual solar cell.

How do photovoltaic modules work?

Photovoltaic modules are made up of many individual, interconnected photovoltaic cells. To ensure the modules are tilted correctly and facing the sun, they are housed in support structures. Every module has two output terminals that collect the generated current and transfer it to the management systems at a solar power station.

What is the efficiency of a photovoltaic module?

A photovoltaic module’s efficiency is quantified as the ratio between the electrical power going out of the terminals and the power of the sun’s rays striking the module’s surface. The standard value used to indicate solar radiation is 1,000 watt/sqm.

What are REC Solar panels?

REC panels are also known for being ultra-durable. With two horizontal support bars on the back of each panel, they can withstand up to 7,000 Pascals of pressure compared to the 5,000 Pascals rating of standard solar panels. On top of great performance, REC’s panels come with 20-year product and 25-year performance solar warranties.

What is PV cell and module technology research?

PV cell and module technology research aims to improve efficiency and reliability, lower manufacturing costs, and lower the cost of solar electricity.
