Solar pv panel definition.
A collection of pv modules is called a pv panel and a system of panels is an array.
A photovoltaic system or solar pv system is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.
The term solar panel is used colloquially for a photo voltaic pv module.
It consists of an arrangement of several components including solar panels to absorb and directly convert sunlight into electricity a solar inverter to change the electric current from dc to ac as well as mounting cabling and other electrical accessories.
