PV Modules/Panels

A solar energy system begins with PV Modules which people usually refer to as solar panels. A photovoltaic (PV) cell module includes multiple PV cells that developers arrange in interconnected units within a protective weatherproof frame. The photovoltaic cells perform the photovoltaic effect by converting sunlight directly to electricity that runs as direct current (DC) power.
