Student researchers are also exploring novel approaches such as solar panel-covered parking facilities. And an undergraduate student has gathered funds to install "solar ivy," small photovoltaic panels that resemble ivy leaves hanging
Solar panel
Solar array mounted on a rooftop. A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow
Solar Ivy: A Flexible Modular Solar Energy System that
A customizable, modular photovoltaic system that can be used for a wide range of applications, Solar Ivy is being offered by SMIT in a range of colors, leaf shapes, and photovoltaic panel
Solar technology joins the ivy league with novel PV
Developed by New York-based Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology (Smit), the Solar Ivy technology, which is made up of bespoke PV panel "leaves" wired through an inverter into a grid-connected system, will be
The basics of photovoltaic solar energy
In general, the difference between photovoltaic panels and solar panels is that photovoltaic cells are an integral part of solar panels. Solar panels consist of many individual photovoltaic (PV) cells connected together.

A PV (photo voltaic) system uses the radiation from the sun to generate DC electrical current in the panels which is either stored in batteries or immediately converted to AC power with an
I-V Curve in Solar PV
P in is taken as the product of the irradiance of the incident light, measured in W/m 2 or in suns (1000 W/m 2), with the surface area of the PV cell [m 2].The maximum efficiency (η MAX) found from a light test is not only an
