What is a Solar Photovoltaic System?
Just as with any other solar technology, a photovoltaic system captures the sun and transmits it back into usable electricity. This technology comes in various sizes and is gaining popularity, especially for commercial properties. The appeal lies in the fact that businesses frequently possess larger rooftops capable of capturing substantial amounts of energy, often sufficiently powering entire warehouses.
How Does a Solar Photovoltaic System Work?
Sunlight, consisting of energy packets known as photons, strikes a solar panel, initiating the generation of an electric current through the photovoltaic effect. To render solar electricity practical, the generated DC power must undergo conversion to AC using an inverter. The resultant AC electricity from the inverter can be utilised to power local electronics or transmitted to the electrical grid for broader use.
