Function of PV Modules
a. Solar Energy Conversion:
- Photovoltaic Effect: PV modules convert sunlight directly into direct current (DC) electricity through semiconductor materials. When sunlight strikes the semiconductor material, it excites electrons, creating an electric current.
b. Energy Output:
- Electricity Generation: The amount of electricity a PV module can generate depends on factors such as the module’s efficiency, the intensity of sunlight, and the angle of installation.
