Photovoltaic panel technical knowledge

What is photovoltaic technology?

Photovoltaic technology, often abbreviated as PV, represents a revolutionary method of harnessing solar energy and converting it into electricity. At its core, PV relies on the principle of the photovoltaic effect, where certain materials generate an electric current when exposed to sunlight.

What is a photovoltaic system technology course?

Gain insight into a topic and learn the fundamentals. This course offers you advanced knowledge within the field of photovoltaic system technology. We'll learn about the solar resource and how photovoltaic energy conversion is used to produce electric power.

What will I learn in a photovoltaic (solar panel) course?

You will be able to identify the key components needed in a basic photovoltaic (solar panel) system, such as is found on a house or building, and explain the function of each component in the system.

How does photovoltaic (PV) technology work?

Photovoltaic (PV) materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power.

What are solar photovoltaic modules?

Solar photovoltaic modules are where the electricity gets generated, but are only one of the many parts in a complete photovoltaic (PV) system. In order for the generated electricity to be useful in a home or business, a number of other technologies must be in place.

Why should you take a photovoltaics course?

Passing this course offers you a great basis for a career in the field of photovoltaics. These lectures serve as an introduction to the field of photovoltaics in general, which includes the most basic terminology, an overview of the history of PV as well as the industrial deployment of the technology.
