Photovoltaic for commercial application - 10

Photovoltaic plants convert the electromagnetic spectrum of the sun into electricity. The core element consists of solar panels (combined in modules) which separate photon bombardment into positive and negative charges. The term photovoltaic combines the Greek word "of light” (photos) and the name of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. Sputnik Engineering AG Sputnik Engineering specialises in the development, operation and maintenance of inverters for grid connected photovoltaic plants. With SolarMax, the company offers a broad range of string inverters for private homes and central...
