What is PV (photovoltaic) and what is a MyGen system?”
Unlike solar water heating systems, PV systems produce electricity from sunlight. PV is short for photovoltaic or photovoltaics. This word comes from the Greek word “photon” for “light” and “volt” from the name of one of the first discoverers of electricity, Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist. A PV system is a solar electric system. A MyGen system is a complete package of all the components you need to create electricity from sunlight to provide some or all of the electricity your home or office uses. It has been engineered and tested by Kyocera Solar, Inc., one of the largest photovoltaic module manufactures in the world.
