An Introduction to Photovoltaic Modules

Get introduced to photovoltaic modules and learn how they convert sunlight into clean energy.

Solar Cells and Modules

Modules consisting of monocrystalline silicon PV cells reach commercial efficiencies between 15 and 18 %. So far, they are the most efficient modules and, with about 85% in 2010, have the

Photovoltaics and electricity

PV cells are electrically connected in a packaged, weather-tight PV panel (sometimes called a module). PV panels vary in size and in the amount of electricity they can

Solar Cell, Module, Panel and Array: What''s the Difference?

We''ll explain how solar power works, including the difference between a solar cell, module, panel and array.
