Solar power generation includes photothermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation. No matter production and sales volume, development speed and development prospect, solar thermal power generation can not catch up with photovoltaic power generation. Photovoltaic power generation may be more popular and less contact with photothermal power generation. Generally speaking, the folk
solar power generation often refers to solar photovoltaic power generation, referred to as photoelectric power generation.
Photovoltaic power generation is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect, using
solar cells to directly convert
solar energy into electrical energy. Photovoltaic power generation system is mainly composed of solar panels (modules), controllers and inverters, which are mainly composed of electronic components, but not mechanical components.
Therefore, photovoltaic power generation equipment is extremely refined, reliable and stable, long service life, simple installation and maintenance. In theory, photovoltaic power generation technology can be used in any situation where power supply is needed, from spacecraft to household power supply, from megawatt power station to toys. Photovoltaic power supply can be everywhere.
