Understanding PV Panel Solar: The Future of Clean, Renewable Energy
India is making remarkable strides in its renewable energy journey, achieving a solar power capacity of 94.4 GW by 2024. Furthermore, India added 18.8 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity between January and October 2024, marking a substantial 27.91% increase compared to the previous year. At the heart of this revolution lies PV panel solar technology, an innovation driving global efforts towards clean, renewable energy. Photovoltaic panels, or solar panel PV modules , harness the power of sunlight to produce electricity, offering a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels. But what exactly are PV panels, how do they work and why are they considered the future of energy? Let’s explore. What is Photovoltaic Technology? Photovoltaic (PV) materials and devices convert sunlight into electricity. A single PV device is called a cell, which produces about 1-2 watts of power. These cells are made from semiconductor materials that capture sunlight and generate an electric current th...
