Solar Cells

Renewable energy sources are seen by many as a means of preserving our planet, and it does not come as a surprise that the popularity of solar panels is constantly increasing. Based on the photovoltaic effect, these systems exploit the capability of some materials to produce electricity when exposed to light. The core component of every photovoltaic setup is a solar cell, a small unit whose characteristics determine the power output of the system under given light conditions. The cells are usually linked to create a module, and various combinations of modules allow technicians to design effective systems tailored to different needs.

The most common material used to produce solar cells is crystalline silicon, and a typical cell can generate an electrical potential of 0.5-0.6 volts, depending on its size, and delivers the current ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 ampere. The larger the cell, the higher the amperage. Typically, they can be connected either in series or in parallel, and the combination of such connections provides many amperage and voltage options to suit every project. We offer quality solar cells built to perfection by leading manufacturers and complying with strict regulations.
