PV modules efficiently convert solar energy into electricity
Photovoltaic modules (PV modules) are the heart of every solar energy system. They consist of several solar cells that convert sunlight directly into electrical energy. Efficiency can vary depending on the cell type and module quality. Modern PV modules enable sustainable and cost-efficient energy generation by making optimum use of incident sunlight and delivering high yields.
Making the most of the sun's energy with high-performance PV modules
Choosing the right PV module has a major influence on the performance of the entire system. Monocrystalline modules offer particularly high efficiency, while polycrystalline variants are a more cost-effective alternative. The use of bifacial modules even allows light to be used from both sides, which further increases the yield.
What factors influence the efficiency of PV modules?
The efficiency of PV modules depends on several factors, including
Orientation and tilt angle: optimal south-facing orientation and the correct tilt angle maximize solar radiation.
Temperature coefficient: High temperatures can reduce the efficiency of the modules. Therefore, models with a low temperature coefficient are particularly advantageous.
Shading: Even small shadows on the modules can greatly reduce the yield, which is why careful planning is crucial.
How do weather influences affect the service life of PV modules?
PV modules are designed for long-term use and generally last 25 to 30 years. Modern models are protected against extreme weather conditions such as hail, snow and strong winds. To ensure a long service life, high-quality glass and frame materials as well as regular maintenance are crucial.
