photovoltaic module

A photovoltaic module, commonly known as a solar panel, is a device that converts sunlight directly into electricity. It consists of many individual solar cells made of semiconductor materials, which generate electricity when exposed to sunlight through the photovoltaic effect. These modules can be installed on rooftops or in solar farms, providing a renewable energy source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Their efficiency and design vary, but they all aim to harness solar energy, making clean electricity accessible for homes, businesses, and utilities.
