3.3 PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS<br />

A Photovoltaic (PV) panel another name is <strong>solar</strong> panel consists <strong>of</strong> so many PV cells wired in<br />

parallel to increase current and in series to produce a higher voltage. The module is encapsulated<br />

with tempered glass (or some other transparent material) on the front surface, and with a<br />

protective and waterpro<strong>of</strong> material on the back surface. The edges are sealed for<br />

weatherpro<strong>of</strong>ing, and there is <strong>of</strong>ten an aluminum frame holding everything together in a<br />

mountable<br />

unit. In the back <strong>of</strong> the module there is a junction box, or wire leads, providing<br />

electrical<br />

connections. 36 cell modules are the industry standard for large power production.<br />
