Technical FAQs 4

What is a photovoltaic cell?

A photovoltaic cell is the most critical part of a solar panel that allows it to convert sunlight into electricity. The two main types of solar cells are monocrystalline and polycrystalline.

How do solar cells work?

Solar cells work by converting sunlight into electricity. They are made of a semiconductor material, usually silicon, that interacts with the photons in sunlight. This causes electrons to be knocked loose and flow together in a current, generating solar electricity.

What are the components of a solar panel?

Understanding the components of a solar panel empowers informed decision-making when selecting photovoltaic systems. Each component—from photovoltaic cells and protective glass to frames and junction boxes—contributes to overall system performance, reliability, and longevity. Key considerations for component selection include:

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels are created by wiring together solar cells, which are then installed on a substrate like metal or glass. A typical residential solar panel with 60 cells combined might produce anywhere from 220 to over 400 watts of power. These panels are installed in groups to form a solar power system that generates energy for a home.
