FUNDAMENTALS OF SOLAR ENERGY CHAPTER 1:
Solar power can be exploited and converted to usable energy using photovoltaics or solar thermal collectors. Although solar energy is only considered a small amount of overall global energy
Photovoltaic systems
The solar panels are only a part of a complete PV solar system. Solar modules are the heart of the system and are usually called the power generators. One must have also mounting
