The beating heart of a PV system is the solar cell.The sunlight on the solar cell initiates a physical response whereby the solar cells generate a direct current. In general, a solar module is made up of 60 or 72 solar cells that are electrically connected together in the module and safely protected by a tough glass panel and a frame. Several modules together make up a powerful and efficient photovoltaic system. The electrical current produced at the terminals of the solar modules flows through the connected cable to the inverter, where it is converted to alternating current so that it can be used by electrical equipment.
