5 shows pv cell panel module and array. Also called solar panels a solar module is a single photovoltaic panel that is an assembly of connected solar cells. The flexibility of the modular pv system allows designers to create solar power systems that can meet a wide variety of electrical needs. Traditional 60 and 72 cell panels will have 120 and 144 half cut cells respectively.

An array of modules are used to supply power to buildings. A solar cell is the basic building block of a solar module. When solar cells are halved their current is also halved so resistive losses are lowered and the cells can produce a little more power. Photovoltaic panels include one or more pv modules assembled as a pre wired field installable unit.

Photovoltaic modules consist of pv cell circuits sealed in an environmentally protective laminate and are the fundamental building blocks of pv systems. Each cell produces approximately 1 2 a volt and a solar module can have any number of solar cells. A solar module designed for charging a 12 volt battery will typically have 36 solar cells while the typical residential grid connected system uses solar modules with 60 solar cells. With solar cell and module capacity in malaysia thailand and vietnam trina solar said it would expand solar cell capacity by a further 2 5gw at facilities outside china.

For example a 12 v panel module will have 36 cells connected in series and a 24 v panel module will have 72 pv cells connected in series.
