Solar PV
Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into power through silicon cells. These panels are often used alongside systems like commercial solar lighting to reduce grid dependency and energy costs. The electricity produced is direct current (DC), which then passes through an inverter to become alternating current (AC), the type your building uses.
Most panels today use silicon cells grouped into modules you see on rooftops or ground mounts. These modules are reliable and efficient. They’ve become more affordable over time thanks to improvements in materials and production.
