How Solar Photovoltaic Panels Work

A photovoltaic power system works like any other power generating system, except it uses different equipment than a conventional power system. In learning how solar photovoltaic panels work, everyone has seen calculators that have solar cells. They never need batteries and are energized from light. As long as you have enough light, they seem to work forever. Larger solar panels are all around - on emergency road signs or help call boxes, even on light poles to power street lights.

The specific components used in a photovoltaic system include an DC-AC power inverter, battery bank, system and battery controller, and auxiliary energy sources. Batteries are an important component and are used for storing energy produced by the system during the day, and to supply it to electrical appliances as needed.

Photovoltaic cells are made of silicon semiconductors, and when light strikes the cell, it is absorbed into the semiconductor material. The energy frees electrons allowing them to flow freely. This flow of electrons i­s a current, and by placing metal contacts on the top and bottom of the solar photovoltaic cell, electricity can be drawn off to be used externally.

To power your home, you don't have to know every detail of how solar photovoltaic panels work. There are quality manuals and step-by-step instructions which will teach you how to install your own homemade solar energy system in your home. Visit my website to learn more today.
