OverviewHistoryTheory and constructionEfficiencyPerformance and degradationMounting and trackingMaintenanceWaste and recycling

A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using multiple solar modules that consist of photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries. Solar panels can be known a
