Solar Modules and Photovoltaic Systems

  • Chapter
Photovoltaics Guidebook for Decision-Makers

Abstract

Solar modules are electronic devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. The following chapter describes the working principles as well as the technology behind those devices, which are in industrial production today. Furthermore solar cell schemes are discussed that may play a role in the power market of the years to come.
