Solar Photovoltaic Effect:
Solar Cell:
• Consist of both n-type and
p- type semiconductor
• Fingers and bus bars
• A cell produces 0.45 V.
• Current produced is
dependent on the area of
the cell that is exposed to
the sunlight
Fingers and Busbars:
• Fingers - Very narrow lines
used to collect carriers and
carry them to bus-bars.
• Industrial width is 150
micrometer. And 2mm
spacing between two
adjacent fingers.
• Bus- bars- wider conducting

lines than fingers.
• Carry current from one cell
to another.
• Are of 2mm width.
What is an SPV Module ?
• Group of Silicon
cells.
• Small cells are

connected in
series.
• SPV array is
group of SPV
Modules.
Manufacturing of SPV:
Cutting
After curing the solar module
Row String Lay-up

Tabbing
Making Making process
Trimming Curing Lamination

Tattler Sheet
Ethyl vinyl Acetate (EVA Sheet)

After trimming the solar module
Solar Cell String
Channeling Ethyl vinyl Acetate (EVA Sheet)
Glass Sheet
Effect of Shadow:
Blocking and By-pass Diodes:
Recent Technology:
(All over the World)
Floating Solar Panels
Cool Solar photovoltaic

panels is 16% more
efficient than a normal
conditioned Solar
Photovoltaic Module.
Printed Solar Cell
Flexible
Portable
Light in weight
Low cost
Interesting Facts About PV Modules
and Solar Energy:
1.) 1st solar panel was
capable of generating
only 1 watt power.
Cost -$250 Worlds largest Solar Photovoltaic
Power Plant
(Agua Calient)
2.) Half of the produced PV • Installed Capacity: 250MW

module worldwide is • Maximum Capacity: 397MW
• Annual generation: 626.219 GW
consumed by Japan in their
• Land Area: 2400
residential sector. • Country : United States
• Construction cost: $1.8 billion
• Photovoltaic Modules: 52,00,000
3.) At any time, the earth
receives 174 petawatts of energy
from sun and this is 6,000 times
our worldwide energy usages.
Benefits:
• Renewable source : will never end.
• Only establishing cost
• In upcoming years this thing is going to be portable.
• Eco-friendly electricity produced.
• Long life of SPV modules
Disadvantages
• Low efficiency
• Require much land area.
