The Independent Grid-off Solar Energy Power Generating System Detailed Introduction

Solar Panel/Module Solar Panel is a generating equipment which can transfer the solar light energy to the DC electricity energy. It is made as a single panel when use according to the different requirements on the power output and its voltage. It also can be used as several solar panel connected in series (which is to meet the demands on voltage) and connected in parallel (which is to meet the demands on current). this way can make as the panel/modules arrays to supply much higher electricity demands. the solar panel/modules has many advantages such as high power efficiency on area，long life span, and high reliability，during the use period, the loss of the output power is less than 20%. The structure of the silicon solar panel/ module

The features of Volt-Amperefor PV solar panel Generally speaking，the solar panel electricity generating is increased in percentage with the intensity of the sunlight. With the surface temperature increased of the solar panel slightly decreased. The so-called general of the solar panels that power is in the sunlight intensity of 1000 W/M2, components, surface temperature is 20 ℃, Imax * Umax value.

Photovoltaic module installation angle Photovoltaic module installed inclination should be guaranteed to receive the maximum sunlight exposure, in normal circumstances components and the horizontal direction for the local latitude ± 5 °to 10 °. That is, when the reduction in the summer, when the increase in the winter. If a fixed angle brackets, the use of local latitude tilt angle. For example, the city of Shantou to 23.42 °latitude.
