How does a Solar PV system work
Solar Photovoltaics, or Solar PV for short, is the environmentally friendly technology used to capture normal daylight and convert it into electricity for you to use in your home or office.
Solar PV cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels or modules that can either be mounted on the roof of your home or on the ground if you have sufficient space.
