Photovoltaic Power

The most widely used technology to produce photovoltaic power involves solar panels —examples of crystalline and thin film] embedded with cells made of pure crystalline silicone that are connected with wires. These panels can be mounted on top of a roof or rack built into the ground.

When sunlight strikes the solar cells, electrons are released, which produces direct current (DC) electricity.

The current passes along the wires into an electronic inverter which converts it to alternating current (AC) electricity.

This is the electricity that will power your facility during daylight hours. During non-sun hours your local utility company supplies the power you use.

A data acquisition system (monitoring system) enables you to monitor—and adjust—your power use in real time, for additional energy (and financial) savings.
