Video: Photovoltaic solar energy ¿How does it work? Video: Photovoltaic solar energy. Simulation. Web: How a PV System Works. Simply put, PV systems are like any other electrical power generating systems, just the equipment used is different than that used for conventional electromechanical generating systems.
However, the principles of operation and interfacing with other electrical systems remain the same, and are guided by a well-established body of electrical codes and standards. Although a PV array produces power when exposed to sunlight, a number of other components are required to properly conduct, control, convert, distribute, and store the energy produced by the array.
