Why are photovoltaic panels all panels

Why are photovoltaic panels all panels

Solar photovoltaic cells are grouped in panels, and panels can be grouped into arrays of different sizes to power water pumps, power individual homes, or provide utility-scale electricity generation. Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (copyrighted). At a high level, solar panels are made up of solar cells, which absorb sunlight. They use this sunlight to create direct current (DC) electricity through a process called "the photovoltaic effect. Some PV cells can convert artificial light into electricity. But we all know solar isn't just for providing remote power needs. There's virtually unlimited reasons why people choose to go solar.
