Definition for word: Photovoltaic (PV) Module Or Panel

An assembly of interconnected photovoltaic cells designed to deliver a selected level of working voltage and current at its output terminals. Since a PV panel is designed for direct exposure to sunlight and other exterior elements, it will also include a housing or frame and protective glazing.

A solar panel (photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged interconnected assembly of solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells. The solar panel is used as a component in a larger photovoltaic system to offer electricity for commercial and residential applications.

Because a single solar panel can only produce a limited amount of power, many installations contain several panels. This is known as a photovoltaic array. A photovoltaic installation typically includes an array of solar panels, an inverter, batteries and interconnection wiring.

Photovoltaic systems are used for either on- or off-grid applications, and for solar panels on spacecraft.
