The Solar Panel
Solar Cells
Solar cells, or photovoltaic (PV) cells, are small semi-conductors usually made from high-grade silica.
Solar Panel
Many cells that are arranged together are housed in an aluminum frame with a tempured glass cover, and mounted with stainless steel hardware to form a solar panel, or module.
Solar Array
When you purchase a complete solar system made of many solar panels, it is also called a solar array.
