Description

Technical Field

[0002] Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, also known as solar cells, are semiconductor optoelectronic devices that utilize the photovoltaic effect of sunlight to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. They are typically assembled from multiple solar cells connected in series and parallel, encapsulated within glass, a backsheet, and a protective frame. These cells usually use semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight shines on the cells, it excites electron-hole pairs. Under the influence of the electric field inside the cell, the electrons and holes separate and move in different directions, thus forming an electric current and converting solar energy into electrical energy. PV panels are the core component of a solar photovoltaic power generation system, and their performance and quality directly affect the power generation efficiency and stability of the system.
