Solpro FAQ - What is a solar cell

What is a solar cell?

Answer from the Solpro expert꞉

A solar cell is the elementary component of a PV module in Solpro solar systems. It consists of a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has the task of converting light energy into electrical energy. When sunlight hits the solar cell, the absorption of photons (light particles) excites electrons in the semiconductor material. This excitation leads to the release of electrons and generates an electric current.

The efficiency of a solar cell, i.e. how well it can convert sunlight into electricity, is a decisive factor for the overall performance of the solar system. At Solpro, we attach great importance to using high-quality solar cells that ensure maximum energy yield. This not only leads to more efficient energy production, but also to a more sustainable energy solution, as more electricity can be generated from a smaller area.

Overall, Solpro's solar cells are an essential component for converting solar energy into usable electrical energy. They are at the heart of our solar systems and play a central role in our efforts to offer environmentally friendly and efficient energy solutions. With Solpro solar cells, you are investing in a future with clean energy and making an important contribution to environmental protection.
