What is Photovoltaic?

 

 

Photovoltaic systems, or solar-electric systems are simply arrays of solar panels that convert sunlight to electricity through the photochemical properties of the solar cells that comprise the panels. There are a few design types for these systems ranging from roof-mounted flat panels to solar trackers that follow the sun through the sky during the day to increase efficiency.

 

 

Things are not all that simple though. There are many considerations to take in account when determining the structure of your renewable energy system. A good solar system must be practical, producing enough energy to qualify it as a wise investment.
