Current leakage is a fairly common systemic phenomenon in photovoltaic energy installations and it shows up even in new systems, although it is clear that the age of the system plays a role. As the components age the phenomenon is increasing.
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the key principles underlying PV technology, exploring the fundamental concepts of solar radiation, semiconductor physics, and the intricate mechanisms that facilitate the transformation of sunlight into a usable electrical power.
Solar energy works by capturing sunlight using some special devices called solar panels. These solar panels are made up of smaller components known as solar cells or photovoltaic (PV) cells.
