PV Systems: Definition
• A photovoltaic system (or PV system) is an engineered system that carries out these operations:o Absorption of incident solar radiationo Conversion of the absorbed solar energy to DC electrical energyo Controlled transfer of the DC electrical energy to a storage device
(such as an array of batteries) OR
o Controlled inversion of the DC electrical energy to AC electrical energy
o Controlled transfer of the electrical energy to electrical loads or to the electrical grid

PV Systems: Solar cell I vs V
There is a relation between the current and the voltage of a solar cell:
Increasinglight
PV Systems: Need for the solar module
To increase the electrical power, solar cells are combined together (physically and electrically) into solar modules
