Like any other renewable energy technology, electronics for solar (photovoltaic) panels are necessary for transforming, transmitting, and monitoring the system.  Unfortunately, system electronics can be fragile, and frequently are the panel’s weakest link.  Converting the sun’s light to electricity, solar panels have demonstrated their utility in numerous operational contexts.  The basic operational unit of panels, the solar cells themselves, can be used to power small scale products like calculators, re-chargeable batteries or watches; full panels can be adapted to a range of larger level operations, like powering homes, lighting systems or water treatment plants.
