SAKO solar PV modules are made up of many different components, including faceplates, back sheets and protective coatings. When sunlight hits a solar photovoltaic module, photons are converted into electricity. This electrical energy is then used to power electronic equipment. The basic design of solar PV modules has not changed in over 30 years, which is why solar PV modules remain some of the most cost-effective ways to generate electricity.
How do solar PV modules work?
To understand how a solar PV module works, it is important to understand how sunlight interacts with the various parts of the module. The panel consists of many tiny cells that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The backplate is made up of many small pieces that hold the battery together and keep the module clean. A protective coating on the backplane prevents dust and other debris from entering the inside of the module.
The cells in a solar PV module can only capture a limited amount of sunlight, so the module needs to be rotated to receive as much sunlight as possible. This spinning process is called tracking. As the sun moves across the sky, the cells in the panel need to be adjusted to face the new sunlight direction.
Important qualities in solar PV modules
– Form Factor: The module must fit the roof or facade of the building to be installed
– Wattage: The more wattage a solar module has, the more power it can produce
– Lumens: The higher the lumens produced by the solar module, the brighter and more visible during the day
– Types of photovoltaic panels: There are three main types of solar panels – crystalline silicon (c-Si), thin film (TF) and amorphous silicon (a-Si)
– Batteries: Each battery in a solar panel converts sunlight into electricity
– Module efficiency: this is how much of the sunlight hitting the module is converted into electricity
