Technical FAQs 4

What is a PV module?

PV (Photovoltaic) modules, sometimes called PV or solar panels, are an integral part of a solar power system. A PV module captures light energy from the sun and converts it into electrical energy. Each module is made up of a grid of small solar cells. The cells are made of a semiconductive material, typically silicon.

What is a photovoltaic module?

A photovoltaic module (PV module), also known as a solar panel, is an array of photovoltaic cells. These modules generate substantial energy and are versatile due to their high power output.

Are photovoltaic modules and solar arrays the same?

No, photovoltaic modules and photovoltaic arrays are not the same. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a unit composed of interconnected PV cells.

What is the difference between a photovoltaic module and a panel?

The difference between a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic panel lies in their composition and size. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a unit comprised of PV cells that gather sunlight and turn it into energy. Each module contains multiple PV cells shielded by different materials within a sturdy metal frame.
