FAQS 4

What is a solar module made of?

A solar module consists of multiple solar cells, typically 60 or 72, wired together. A solar cell is made from a thin wafer of silicon. Each cell is connected to the other cells in the module by thin wires known as busbars. Solar cells are the most expensive part of a solar panel.

What are the raw materials of a PV module?

We look at the raw materials of a PV module including busbars, and junction boxes to the cell itself. A solar, or photovoltaic (PV) module as it is also called, is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. It is the key component of a solar energy system. Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.

What is a solar cell made of?

A solar cell is made from a thin wafer of silicon. Each cell is connected to the other cells in the module by thin wires known as busbars. Solar cells are the most expensive part of a solar panel. The quality of solar cells varies depending on the material it is made from. Silicon cells are generally more expensive than thin-film cells.

Why are solar panels made of silicon?

This is the main reason why most solar panel production focuses on silicon panels. 90% of solar PV panels in production on the market are silicon. Busbars are thin, conductive strips, typically made of copper or aluminum, that collect and distribute electric current generated by individual solar cells within a module.
