Solar panels

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Solar panel.

Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called arrays or systems. A photovoltaic system consists of one or more solar panels, an inverter that converts direct current electricity to alternating current where it is necessary, and sometimes other components such as charge controllers, meters, or solar trackers to maximize direct sunlight. Most panels are in solar farms or rooftop solar panels, which supply the electricity grid.
