What is a Photovoltaic Module?

Photovoltaic module is a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy. It is often used in applications where solar power is used, such as solar power plants and solar street lights.

The working principle of a photovoltaic module is the photovoltaic effect. The "photovoltaic effect" is called "photovoltaic effect", which refers to the phenomenon that a light source causes a potential difference between a non-uniform semiconductor or a semiconductor and a different part of the combination. It is first a process of converting photons (light waves) into electrons, and converting light energy into electric energy, and secondly it is a process of forming a voltage. With voltage, it is like building a dam. If the two are connected, a loop of current is formed. The basic principle of solar power is the "photovoltaic effect". The task of a solar energy expert is to complete the task of producing voltage. Because of the need to produce voltage, the completion of photovoltaic cells is the key to solar power generation. Solar energy is the most important basic energy source of various renewable energy sources. Biomass energy, wind energy, ocean energy, and water energy all come from solar energy. Broadly speaking, solar energy includes the above-mentioned various renewable energy sources. As a kind of renewable energy, solar energy refers to the direct conversion and utilization of solar energy. The conversion of solar radiant energy into thermal energy by a conversion device belongs to solar thermal utilization technology, and the use of thermal energy for power generation is called solar thermal power generation, which also belongs to this technical field. The conversion of solar radiation energy into electrical energy by a conversion device belongs to Solar photovoltaic power generation technology, photoelectric conversion devices usually use the photovoltaic effect principle of semiconductor devices to perform photoelectric conversion, so it is also called solar photovoltaic technology ^[2] .
