What is a photovoltaic (PV) solar cell?
Central to this solar revolution are Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells, experiencing a meteoric rise in both demand and importance. For professionals in the field, a deep understanding of the manufacturing process of these cells is more than just theoretical knowledge.
What role does inverter manufacturing play in the EU solar industry?
Inverter manufacturing plays a crucial role in job creation within the EU solar industry, accounting for approximately 70% of all full-time equivalents (FTEs) in European manufacturing across the solar supply chain. In 2021 this translated to around 31,000 jobs, highlighting the significant employment opportunities it provides.
How do solar inverters work?
Power electronics for PV modules, including power optimizers and inverters, are assembled on electronic circuit boards. This hardware converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical grid uses. Learn more about how inverters work.
How to pair a solar inverter with a PV plant?
In order to couple a solar inverter with a PV plant, it’s important to check that a few parameters match among them. Once the photovoltaic string is designed, it’s possible to calculate the maximum open-circuit voltage (Voc,MAX) on the DC side (according to the IEC standard).
