solcellsmodule

A solcellsmodule, also known as a solar panel, is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. It is typically composed of multiple photovoltaic cells, which are semiconductor devices that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. When photons from sunlight strike these cells, they excite electrons, creating an electric current. The individual cells are usually made of silicon, though other materials like cadmium telluride or copper indium gallium selenide can also be used.

These cells are interconnected and encapsulated to form a durable panel, often framed with aluminum. The number of cells in a module and their arrangement determine the panel's power output, measured in watts. Solcellsmodules are the fundamental building blocks of solar power systems, which can range from small rooftop installations to large-scale solar farms. The electricity generated can be used immediately, stored in batteries, or fed into the electrical grid. Factors like sunlight intensity, panel temperature, and angle of installation affect the module's performance.
