photovoltaic (PV) cell --The smallest semiconductor element within a PV module to perform the immediate conversion of light into electrical energy (dc voltage and current). photovoltaic (PV) conversion efficiency --The ratio of the electric power produced by a photovoltaic device to the power of the sunlight incident on the device.
photovoltaic (PV) module --The smallest environmentally protected, essentially planar assembly of solar cells and ancillary parts, such as interconnections, terminals, [and protective devices such as diodes] intended to generate DC power under unconcentrated sunlight.
Semiconductors are used widely in electronics, including solar panels. Solar cells: Semiconductors typically made of silicon that generate electricity when exposed to photons (aka particles of light) via the photovoltaic effect. Solar panels for home systems typically contain 60 solar cells.
PV inverters were originally developed to convert direct current (DC) generated by PV panels to alternating current (AC) for use in the home or to feed into the grid. One of the most common types of inverters is a string inverter, which performs both conversion and MPPT at the string level.
photovoltaic (PV) panel --often used interchangeably with PV module (especially in one-module systems), but more accurately used to refer to a physically connected collection of modules (i.e., a
