Photovoltaic (PV)

Photovoltaic technology converts light into electricity. Solar modules produce DC electricity, which a suitable inverter converts for AC loads.

How to use the term

A working PV system includes more than modules: mounting, cabling, electrical protection and a compatible inverter are part of the design. Storage is an additional function, not an automatic feature of solar panels.

What to check before choosing

Confirm electrical compatibility, roof conditions and installation scope. Module wattage alone does not establish system yield or operation during a grid outage.
