Study Notes
- PV modules undergo transformations before reaching the grid
- Charge regulators manage electricity flow in PV systems
- Batteries are used in PV systems to supply power at low sun conditions
- Inverters convert DC power to AC power in PV systems
- Efficiency of a PV cell is the amount of electrical power compared to light energy
- Thin film solar panels are thinner and more low profile than crystalline panels
- Monocrystalline panels are mostly black while polycrystalline panels have a bluish hue
- There are three main types of solar panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film
- Photovoltaics is the direct conversion of light into electric power using semiconducting materials
- Solar technologies can be used for generating electricity, providing light, and heating.
