Components of solar photovoltaic power generation:
1、 The main function of solar cells is to generate electricity. The mainstream in the power generation market are crystalline silicon solar cells and thin-film solar cells, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Crystalline silicon solar cells have relatively low equipment costs, but high consumption and cell costs, but also high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Thin film solar cells are more suitable for outdoor sunlight power generation, with relatively high equipment costs but low consumption and cell costs. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is more than half of that of crystalline silicon solar cells, but the weak light effect is very good, and can also generate electricity under ordinary lighting. Just like a solar calculator.
2、 Inverters, also known as power regulators, can be divided into two types based on their use in photovoltaic power generation systems: independent power supply and grid connected. According to the waveform modulation method, it can be further divided into square wave inverters, step wave inverters, sine wave inverters, and combined three-phase inverters. For inverters used in grid connected systems, they can be divided into transformer type inverters and transformer free inverters based on the presence or absence of transformers.
Photovoltaic power generation application field:
