Solar Photovoltaic Panel
Photovoltaic Panel converts Light into Electricity
We have seen that photovoltaic cells use light to generate electricity and that there are a number of different types of photovoltaic cell technologies available, including monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film cells which can all be used to produce a Photovoltaic Panel. The electrical power in Watts, generated by these different photovoltaic cells when exposed to direct sunlight is roughly the same for each panel and is given as the product of the voltage times the current, ( P = V x I ).
The amount of electrical power generated by an individual photovoltaic cell at its output terminals depends upon the amount of solar radiation that hits its PN junction as well as the percentage of solar radiation it actually converts into electricity, in other words its efficiency.
Solar Cell Voltage
An individual photovoltaic cell produces an "Open Circuit Voltage" ( VOC ) of about 0.5 to 0.6 volts at 25oC (typically around 0.58V) no matter how large they are. This cell voltage remains fairly constant just as long as there is sufficient irradiance light from dull to bright sunlight. Open circuit voltage means that the PV cell is not connected to any external load and is therefore not producing any current flow.
