Independent power generation system
The electricity generated from the solar cell phalanx charges the storage cell and is transformed from DC to AC by the inverter.
Grid-Connected power generation system
The electricity generated from the solar cell phalanx is transported to the AC electric power network or to the AC loads directly through the inverter.
Photovoltaic power generation systems are classified into two groups: A Grid - Connected system and an Independent system.
The principal of photovoltaic cells
When the light shines upon the solar cell's surface, a part of photons are absorbed by the silicon material. After the photon energy is transferred to silicon atom, the electrons migrate and become
free electrons that gather at two sides of the P-N (Positive/Negative) junction to form the potential difference. (Voltage) The essence of this process is the transformation from photon energy to
electrical energy.
Solar energy is the most important basic form of engery within the renewable energy category. Through the use of transforming equipment, the solar radiant energy is transformed into usable electrical energy. The transforming equipment usually deals with photo-electricity transformation using the principle of semiconductor photovoltaic effects and is known as photovoltaic technology.
