When sunlight hits the solar cells in a panel, it causes electrons to be knocked loose from their atoms. The solar panels capture these free electrons and direct them into an electric current.

In this post, we''ll briefly look into the types of electrical current, the various loads we need to power, and how photovoltaic (PV) modules generate electricity. This knowledge forms the foundation for
View Details
Solar cells (within solar panels) produce direct current (DC) electricity, which is typically converted to alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter.
