Research Summary
Solar cells and modules are fundamental components of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology used to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are the individual units that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. These cells are typically made of semiconductor materials like silicon, which absorb photons from sunlight, generating electrons and creating an electric current. Solar modules, commonly referred to as solar panels, consist of multiple interconnected solar cells encapsulated between protective layers of tempered glass, polymer resins, and back sheets. The modules are designed to capture sunlight efficiently and convert it into usable electricity. Solar cells are interconnected in series to produce higher voltages and currents, while modules are assembled to achieve desired power output levels for various applications. Solar cells and modules are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to harness renewable energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
