What Is Photovoltaic Solar Energy

• yy

• Photovoltaic solar Panel energy is a clean,
  renewable source of energy that generates
  electricity by utilising solar radiation.
• It is based on the photoelectric effect, which
  occurs when certain materials absorb photons
  (light particles) and release electrons,
  resulting in an electric current.

What is the process of a photovoltaic solar panel?

• yy

• Photovoltaic solar Panel energy is created by
  converting sunlight into electricity using a
  photoelectric effect-based technology.
• It is a type of renewable, inexhaustible, and
  non-polluting energy that can be produced in a
  variety of installations ranging from small
  self-consumption generators to large photovoltaic
  plants. Learn how these massive solar fields work.

Types Of Photovoltaic Plants

• yy

• Photovoltaic power plants- all of the energy
  generated by the panels is fed into the power
  grid.
• Self-consumption generator- a portion of the
  electricity generated is consumed by the producer
  (for example, in a dwelling) and the remainder is
  discharged to the grid. Furthermore, when the
  unit does not supply enough energy, the producer
  draws energy from the grid to meet their needs.

CONCLUSION

• Solar cells are a very clean way to generate
  electricity, emitting no greenhouse gases over
  their lifetime.
• The initial cost of installation is high, but
  their long lifespan results in a payback period
  of about 20 years. A Photovoltaic solar Panel
  module will produce far more electricity than it
  consumed during its estimated lifetime.
• A 100 W module will save over two tonnes of CO2
  over its lifetime.
