A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. Many utility-scale PV systems use tracking systems
Overheating of photovoltaic solar panels Photovoltaic solar panels do not bear the risk of overheating because they do not contain circulating water and they simply evacuate heat from each side of the panel. In this regard, it is worth noting that photovoltaic panels lose efficiency as soon as their surface temperature reaches 25 C.
