Technical FAQs 4

What is solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels.

How is solar energy generated?

Solar energy - Electricity Generation: Solar radiation may be converted directly into solar power (electricity) by solar cells, or photovoltaic cells. In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

What type of electricity does a solar panel use?

AC is the type of electrical current used when you plug appliances into normal wall sockets. What’s the difference between solar PV panels and solar thermal panels? Solar PV panels generate electricity, as described above, while solar thermal panels generate heat.

Are solar panels suitable for direct use?

The direct current (DC) that gets generated in the solar panels is not suitable for direct use. Inverters are used to convert this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. Alternating Current (AC) is the standard form of electricity used in homes and businesses. 3. Energy Transmission:
