Photovoltaic panel

A device consisting of photovoltaic modules, which in turn are made of photovoltaic cells. The cells convert solar radiation into electric power using the photoelectric effect and are the basic components of a photovoltaic power plant. The most common type of cell is made from crystalline material with a layer of semiconductor material, most often silicon. There are also amorphous silicon cells.
