A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connect assembly of typically 6x10 photovoltaic solar cells . Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions (STC), and typically ranges from 100 to 365 Watts (W) . The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 W module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 W module. There are a few commercially available solar modules that exceed efficiency of 22% [1] and reportedly also exceeding 24%. [2] [3] A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes an array of photovoltaic modules, an inverter , a battery pack for storage, interconnection wiring, and optionally a solar tracking mechanism. |

Solar panel refers either to a photovoltaic module, a solar hot water panel , or to a set of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure. A PV module is a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells . Solar panels can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions (STC), and typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output - an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a panel or an array of solar modules, an inverter , and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring. |

In the field of photovoltaics , a photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel is a packaged interconnected assembly of photovoltaic cells , also known as solar cells . An installation of photovoltaic modules or panels is known as a photovoltaic array . Photovoltaic cells typically require protection from the environment. For cost and practicality reasons a number of cells are connected electrically and packaged in a photovoltaic module, while a collection of these modules that are mechanically fastened together, wired, and designed to be a field-installable unit, sometimes with a glass covering and a frame and backing made of metal , plastic or fiberglass , are known as a photovoltaic panel or simply solar panel . A photovoltaic installation typically includes an array of photovoltaic modules or panels, an inverter , batteries (for off grid ) and interconnection wiring. |

The term solar panel is best applied to a flat solar thermal collector , such as a solar hot water or air panel used to heat water , air, or otherwise collect solar thermal energy . But 'solar panel' may also refer to a photovoltaic module which is an assembly of solar cells used to generate electricity . In all cases, the panels are typically flat, and are available in various heights and widths. |
