Photo (Light) Volta (Electricity)
Literally meaning electricity from the sun, photovoltaics (PV), or solar cells as they are often referred to are semiconductor devices that convert sunlight into direct-current (DC) electricity. The PV cell is the building block of the PV panel. This direct current power is then safely converted into utility grade alternating current (AC) power for typical household or commercial use. This conversion is done by a power inverter.
Photovoltaic panels are assembled into arrays of panels which can be appropriately sized to meet
a variety of household or commercial needs. Photovoltaic systems can easily be integrated into new
and existing construction. The most critical site feature for this type of system is and unobstructed
south facing roof.

Today the most common type of photovoltaic installation is a direct grid-interconnect system. A
direct grid-interconnect system does not have a battery back up component. While this type of
system will operate more efficiently and require less maintenance in the long term, in the event of
a power outage it will not provide electricity. If you are in an area where power outages are
common you may want to consider adding a battery back up component, instead of buying a generator.
