Solar panels generate DC electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. That's straight from. . I'm reading about PV behaviour and am confused on whether a PV panel/cell would be considered to be a voltage source or current source or both or neither (from the characteristic IV curve). The IV curve looks like a combination of both constant current and constant voltage. This is your typical voltage we put on solar panels; ranging from 12V, 20V, 24V, and 32V solar panels. In comparison, the output (voltage and current) of a PV cell, PV module, or PV array varies with the sunlight on. . Solar panels don't just magically turn sunlight into electricity—they rely on two key electrical concepts: voltage (V)and current (I).
