Solar Panel (solar module / photovoltaic panel) is produced by electrically combining many solar cells in series / parallel. Photovoltaic Solar Panels convert sunlight into electrical energy. In commercial and domestic photovoltaic project applications, many Solar Panels are used together with equipment such as inverters, batteries and charge controllers.
When sunlight falls on the surface of the silicon cells used in PV panels, it activates the electrons in the crystal, resulting in the production of electric current. The electricity obtained here works with direct current. Direct current is not suitable for use in our homes. We need to convert this electricity into alternating current with converters we call Inverters.
Silicon is the second most common element on earth after oxygen. It is very cheap because it is an easily accessible resource. However, to use silicon in photovoltaic applications, a complex and multi-stage process is required. In this process, simple silica sand is converted into pure crystalline silicon. There are many types in the photovoltaic industry, classified according to crystal structure and production method:
