Photovoltaic cells are connected electrically in series and/or parallel circuits to produce higher voltages, currents and power levels. Photovoltaic modules consist of PV cell circuits sealed in an environmentally protective laminate, and are the fundamental building blocks of PV systems.
To produce greater power, several interconnected PV cells are required. Photovoltaic modules (PV modules), or solar panels, consist of an array of PV cells. The high volume of PV cells incorporated into a single PV module produces more power. Commonly, residential solar panels are configured with either 60 or 72 cells within each panel.
