Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV)

A technology that utilises the process of converting light to Electricity through the photovoltaic effect within solar cells. These cells are made from semiconductor materials, with most made from silicon.

Solar PV are modular in design and are typically connected in chains to form large modules or panels which can be connected to form arrays.
