Photovoltaic Arrays

Providing South Florida Real Estate Services online since 2008

Photovoltaic Arrays are glass clad panels with materials called semiconductors sandwiched in between them. The most popular semiconductor currently used is silicon. When the energy of the sun hits the cells of silicon the cells absorb the energy and in the process knocks electrons loose. The electrons are compelled by the electrical fields contained in the photovoltaic panels to move in one direction and form a current. The current is then attracted to the strips of metal in the panel that allow it to be used externally.
