The conversion of sunlight into electricity is known as photovoltaic. A power system, which is designed to supply the usable solar power through photovoltaics is referred to as a photovoltaic system. It is made up of an arrangement of many components such as solar panels and solar inverter. Solar panels are used for the absorption and conversion of sunlight into electricity. Solar inverters convert the output from direct to alternating current. Some of the other components of photovoltaic systems are solar array, mounting, cabling, tracker and batteries. Photovoltaic systems can range from small PV systems such as rooftop-mounted or building-integrated systems to large utility-scale power stations. The topics included in this book on photovoltaic systems are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and applications of photovoltaic systems. This textbook will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Solar power is a form of usable energy that is acquired by converting the energy from sunlight into electric energy. The two main methods used in the conversion of solar energy into electricity are utilizing photovoltaic solar panels and using concentrated solar power. The photovoltaic effect is used by the photovoltaic cells to convert light energy into electric current. Photovoltaic modules use wafer-based crystalline silicon cells and thin-film cells. Lenses, mirrors and tracking systems are used in the concentrated solar power system to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The topics included in this book on solar power are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and the applications of solar power. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
