What are the Components of a Solar Panel?

The energy which we get from the sunlight is free of cost every day, Solar energy. The Solar Panel converts solar energy into electric energy during the day. In this latest blog, you will learn about the main components of solar panels.

Six Main Components Of A Solar Panel

Aluminum frame
Glass
EVA film layers
PV cells
Back-sheet
Junction box

Tempered Glass
Tempered Glass comes with High Transparency and Anti-Reflective Coating to get the best output from the solar panel. here are some parameters to understand the quality of Tempered glass.

The Thickness of Tempered Glass must be 3.2 mm some of the non-branded companies also use 2.6 mm thick tempered glass.

It Can be identified by comparing the weight also, There will be at least a 12% to 18% difference.

Do you know why it’s so important to have High Thickness tempered glass? Because it can withstand harsh weather, and even Monkeys jumping on your solar panel.

PV cells
PV Cells are the ones that convert solar energy into electric energy. In order to get the best energy generation, it is important to have better Quality PV Cells. Based on industry standards there are Grades in PV Cells best Quality of cell are Grade A Cells. It comes with Excellent Efficiency Up to 18.8%. Now you must be thinking how will you know it right? So here are some parameters to make sure it’s Grade A PV cells.

Parameters to verify its Grade A PV cells.

Not Cracked

Not Disconnected

No Color deviation

EVA Sheet

EVA stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate. EVA sheet is the main Component for deciding the Durability of 25 Years.

The key functions of the EVA sheet are to provide Adhesion between PV cells and glass also PV cells and the back sheet. EVA sheet gives  Cushioning to PV Cells. The EVA sheet acts as a Barrier from Dust and Moisture and ensures the long life of the panel
 EVA sheet Provides Electric Insulation

PID free

Busbar
Single PV cell generally has Five Bus-bars.

The key role of the bus bar is to collect Electric charges from PV Cells. Bus bars have Silver-coated Copper Strips to collect electricity with greater ease and supply that to the junction box.

Backsheet
Back-Sheet gives Protection Against UV Rays, Dust, and Moisture.

It provides Structural Support to the PV Module.

Back-Sheet maintain Module's integrity
Back-Sheet gives Mechanical Strength to the panel
Backsheet provides Support to the EVA.
Back-Sheet reflects the light For Increased Output.

Aluminum frame
Industry-standard for the thickness of the Aluminum frame is 35mm

The aluminum frame gives High Strength to the solar module

Non Corrosive frame

Aluminum Frame increases Load Carrying Capacity

The key component for providing Mechanical Strength


Junction Box
The junction box is the key component to Collect Electric Current and deliver ahead.

The junction box comes with an IP68 rating which makes it water-resistant.
High Endurance Against Rain & Dust
Electrically Insulated 
Prevents Current Leaks
Reduces Electrical Hazard
Now the good news is Amrut Energy is following all the quality standards of the industry and sometimes even better

Amrut Energy provides a 40mm thick frame better than the industry standard of 35mm. Likewise, we only provide Grade A Cells Solar panels.
