Photovoltaic cells (solar cells) are semiconductor devices which converts the sunlight on their surfaces to electricity. PV cells are mostly has 100 cm² surface area, with a width of 0,2-0,4 mm.

The efficiency of PV cells is between % 5 - % 20, depending on the cell structure.

 In order to increase the power output, PV cells are connected in series and/or parallel, and are mounted on a laminated surface to protect from the environmental effects. This structure is called “photovoltaic module”. Depending on the energy requirement, it is possible to install systems beginning from Watts to MWatts with photovoltaics.
