A solar module comprises six components, but arguably the most important one is the photovoltaic cell, which generates electricity.The conversion of sunlight, made up of particles called photons, into electrical energy by a solar cell is called the "photovoltaic effect" - hence why we refer to solar cells as "photovoltaic", or PV for short.
The efficiency (η PV) of a solar PV system, indicating the ratio of converted solar energy into electrical energy, can be calculated using equation [10]: (4) η P V = P max / P i n c where P max is the maximum power output of the solar panel and P inc is the incoming solar power. Efficiency can be influenced by factors like temperature, solar ...
