The largest PV systems in the country are located in California and produce power for utilities to distribute to their customers. This energy from the sun excites the electrons to flow freely between the cells and this produces current and is absorbed by the conductor around the cells. Systems also include mounting structures that point panels toward the sun, along with the components that take the direct-current (DC) electricity produced by modules and convert it to the alternating-current (AC) electricity used to power all of the appliances in your home. Basically a solar cell is made up of silicon based layer called PV cells in which it absorbs heat from the sun and produces energy. PV modules and arrays are just one part of a PV system. Because of this modular structure, PV systems can be built to meet almost any electric power need, small or large. One or more arrays is then connected to the electrical grid as part of a complete PV system. Modules can be used individually, or several can be connected to form arrays.
To boost the power output of PV cells, they are connected together in chains to form larger units known as modules or panels.
In order to withstand the outdoors for many years, cells are sandwiched between protective materials in a combination of glass and/or plastics. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four human hairs. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy.
