Many silicon-based photovoltaic cells (PV cells) are used in most modern solar panels to generate direct current (DC) power from sunlight. Within the solar panel, the PV cells are joined together and cables are used to connect them to neighboring panels. Photovoltaic cells generate energy from sunshine, or irradiance, rather than heat. Solar panels, also known as solar modules, are usually strung together to form a solar array. The amount of solar energy generated is determined by a number of factors, including the solar panels’ orientation and tilt angle, their efficiency, and any losses due to shadowing, dirt, or even ambient temperature.
