 Theory and construction

The majority of modules use wafer-based crystalline silicon cells or a thin film cell based on cadmium telluride or silicon.

In order to use the cells in practical applications, they must be:

 -connected electrically to one another and to the rest of the system

-protected from mechanical damage during manufacture, transport and installation and use (in particular against hail impact, wind and snow loads). This is especially important for wafer-based silicon cells which are brittle.

-protected from moisture, which corrodes metal contacts and interconnects, (and for thin film cells the transparent conductive oxide layer) thus decreasing performance and lifetime.

-electrically insulated including under rainy conditions.

-mountable on a substructure.

Most modules are rigid, but there are some flexible modules available, based on thin film cells.

Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or in parallel to provide a desired amount of current source capability. Diodes are included to avoid overheating of cells in case of partial shading.
