Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are made up of diferent components. Each component has a specific role. The type of component in the system depends on the type of system and the purpose.
The most crucial component of the solar panels is the photovoltaic (PV) cells responsible for producing electricity from solar radiation. The rest of the elements that are part of a solar panel protect and give firmness and functionality to the whole. The structure of a solar panel is divided into different parts or components.
Photovoltaic cells are the most critical part of the solar panel structure of a solar system. These are semiconductor devices capable of generating a DC electrical current from the impact of solar radiation.
In addition to PV mod-ules, the components needed to complete a PV system may include a battery charge controller, batteries, an inverter or power control unit (for alternating-current loads), safety disconnects and fuses, a grounding circuit, and wiring. (See 36 cells.
Generally, silicon is used as a semiconductor material in solar cells. The typical rating of silicon solar cells is 0.5 V and 6 Amp. And it is equivalent to 3 W power. The number of cells is connected in series or parallel and makes a module. The number of modules forms a solar panel.
The total power is 30 watts. A module with the capacity of producing at least 12 volts is necessary to push the electrical current through the pump motor. The majority of solar modules available on the market and used for residential and commercial solar systems are silicon-crystalline.
