Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
Solar photovoltaic principles The working principle of solar PV (SPV) cells is based on the PV or photoelectric effect for semiconductor materials. These formulate that, in certain circumstances, an electron (e −) of a semiconductor material can absorb an energy packet known as photon.
Highlights This paper reviews the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology. Performance of solar PV array is strongly dependent on operating conditions. Manufacturing cost of solar power is still high as compared to conventional power. Abstract
The photovoltaic (PV) solar system is made up of a total of three components: (I) photovoltaic cells or solar arrays, (II) the system’s overall equilibrium, and (III) the load. Installing photovoltaic panels, which give clean, green electricity, is one of the most important advantages because it offers significant cost savings.
The transformation of solar radiation into electrical current is referred to as “photovoltaic energy conversion” (PV), and this is the meaning of the word “photovoltaic energy conversion.” The photovoltaic effect is responsible for this phenomenon.
Depending on the application, the photovoltaic (PV) solar system may additionally comprise batteries for storing any excess electricity, dc/ac inverters for connecting the PV solar system to the electrical grid, as well as any additional electrical or mounting components.
