Solar Panels
Solar modules use light energy (photons) from the sun to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Monocrystalline silicon solar panels are the most common and most efficient type of solar panel. Monocrystalline silicon is made by taking a melted vat of silicon, adding a crystalline “seed” to solidify the silicon into bars, which is then cut into squares or “wafers” that make up a solar panel. The structural (load carrying) member of a module can either be the top layer or the back layer. Cells must also be protected from mechanical damage and moisture. Most solar modules are rigid, but semi-flexible ones are available, based on thin-film cells. These early solar modules were first used in space in 1958.
Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or in parallel to provide a desired current capability. The conducting wires that take the current off the modules may contain silver, copper or other non-magnetic conductivetransition metals. The cells must be connected electrically to one another and to the rest of the system. Externally, popular terrestrial usage photovoltaic modules use MC4 connectors to facilitate easy weatherproof connections to the rest of the system.
Bypass diodes may be incorporated or used externally, in case of partial module shading, to maximize the output of module sections still illuminated.
Solar Panels convert sunlight into electricity through the use of photovoltaic cells. This electricity can be used directly, or stored in a backup battery system in the form of DC current and then converted to AC current when it is needed. We supply a range of solar panels to suit everything from small residential to large commercial projects and everything in between.
Solar Panels have decreased in price over the last 10 years, meaning houseowners and business owners can now install more efficient panels for a much more affordable price.
