pv solar panel

Photovoltaic solar panels convert daylight into electricity. This DC power can either be used directly for a garden feature or greenhouse ventilation for example or it can be stored in rechargeable solar batteries to be used for small voltage appliances. An inverter can convert the generated electricity into AC (230 Volt) power.

In remote areas or for low voltage requirements, PV is becoming more and more competitive with a long operating life and low maintenance a highly reliable alternative to grid extension.

What does photovoltaic (PV) mean?
The direct conversion of light into electricity.

What is a PV cell?
The smallest semiconductor element that converts light into electrical energy (DC voltage and current).

What is a PV array?
An interconnected system of PV modules that function as a single electricity-producing unit. The modules are assembled as a discrete structure, with common support or mounting. In smaller systems, an array can consist of a single module.

Photovoltaic solar cells, which directly convert sunlight into electricity, are made of semiconductor materials. This can include very simple cells that power calculators and watches, and complex systems that can light houses.

Global Indian Energy Corporation will be installing Photovoltaic Systems across India which will be able to generate enough power to sustain a lot of consumers and will reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
