What exactly is a SPV System?
The solar cell is the smallest unit of a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) System. Solar cells are electrically connected to make solar or PV (photovoltaic) modules. A number of solar cells joined in series and parallel make a module. PV modules are very flexible in their applications: they are portable, can be transported to different locations or can be used as a generating station for the utility. PV panels include one or more PV modules assembled as a pre-wired, field-installable unit. A number of linked panels make an array. A combination of solar module(s) in series/parallel combination, storage battery, interface electronics, mechanical support structure, cable and switches, etc. constitute an SPV System. SPV systems can be used to provide electricity for lighting, water pumping, battery charging as well as for feeding power to the grid, etc. SPV systems can be used for either centralised or distributed power generation. The fuel (sunlight) is free, and no noise or pollution is created f
