Alternative Energy: Photovoltaic Modules and Systems

Abstract

Use of solar energy does not contribute to global warming. The light-to-current conversion (photovoltaic conversion) takes place within solar cells, which in most cases are made of silicon. Solar module consists of many solar cells, which are electrically connected and placed between glass or Tedlar® and framed by an aluminium frame. A number of solar modules and other components form photovoltaic systems. In this entry, a brief overview of the construction of solar modules and systems is presented.
