FAQs on Solar PV Systems

1. What are photovoltaic (solar) systems or "PV"? A photovoltaic (PV) system uses PV cells to convert sunlight into electricity. PV cells are made of semiconductors and are used to assemble PV modules, PV systems also include inverters, to regulate and convert the solar-generated electricity from direct current to alternating current.
