How many crystalline solar cells are needed to build a solar module?
Solution At normal operating temperature, the voltage available across the terminals of each crystalline solar cell is 0.5–0.08 = 0.42 V. Hence, the required number of solar cells to construct such solar module = \ (\frac {15} { {0.42}} = 36\). Hence, 36 numbers of crystalline solar cells are required to build a standard solar module of 15 V.
