It is an assembly of PV cells mounted or housed in a framework for installation. Inside this framework is a silicone cell protected by a thick and clear sheet of protective glass. A collection of PV modules is called a PV or solar panel, and a system of panels is referred to as an array.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow do solar panels work?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\nPV cells in a panel absorb light energy or irradiance from the sun to produce direct current (DC) electricity. PV panels form part of a solar system. Once light energy has been harvested and transformed into practical energy, it gets sent to an inverter to be transformed. \u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOther components of a solar system may include batteries, chargers, and the balance of system (wiring, switches, etc.)\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETypes of solar panels\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\nTypes of solar panels typically used include monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OefNyWGH2Q\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Types of solar panels\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u00227fbc4856-f03b-40bd-bbae-060537356251\u0022 src=\u0022/cms/drupal8-magnetgroup/sites/default/files/inline-images/Types%20of%20Solar%20Panels-02.jpg\u0022 class=\u0022align-center\u0022 /\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E1.

Consider turning to a monocrystalline panel if you\u0027d like to enjoy the benefits of higher efficiencies, and less degradation. Advantages of higher powered panels include maximising your roof space, minimising\u00A0components required for the installation, and (theoretically) enjoying a slightly cheaper installation per watt.\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \u00A0\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENeed a solar solution for your home or facility?
