PV Panels are a solar- electric system's defining component,
where sunlight is used to make direct current (DC) electricity.
Behind a PV panel's shimmering facade, wafers of semi-
conductor material work their magic, using light (photons) to
generate electricity - what's known as the photvoltaic effect.
Other components in your system enable the electricity from
your solar- electric panels to safely power your electric loads
like lights, computers and refrigerators.
PV Panels are assigned a rating in Watts based on the
maximum power they can produce under ideal sun and
temperature conditions. You can use the rated output to help
determine how many panels you'll need to meet your electrical
needs. Multiple modules combined together are called an
array. PV modules are very durable and long lasting. They can
withstand severe weather, including extreme heat, cold and hail.
