Solar ModulesA solar cell, also called a
photovoltaic cell, is used
to convert
solar energy into electrical energy.
Solar cells are the basic elements of a
solar module (also known as a solar
panel).
Silicon is by far the commonest of a
variety of
semiconductors from which solar cells
are made. There are three main types of solar cells, which are distinguished by
the type of crystal used in them. They are
monocrystalline,
polycrystalline, and
amorphous A 1 Kilowatt (1000 Watts) Peak System will generate nearly 1000 kilowatt hours (kWHrs) per year of energy in cloudy climates (e.g. Northern Europe, Canada, Northern Japan) and up to 2,000 kilowatt hours in sunny climates (e.g. the sunbelt States of USA, Brazil, Mediterranean Countries, Africa, India, Australia). The advantage of Solar Energy Systems is that they can be configured to virtually any power load. The actually size of your Solar System is totally up to you!
