A solar panel, fundamentally known in the industry as a photovoltaic (PV) module, is a conglomeration of photovoltaic cells designed to absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. These panels constitute the core unit of any solar energy system, transforming sunlight directly into electrical power through the photovoltaic effect.
In the last decade, the demand of the photovoltaic industry has seen unprecedented gains driven by various global initiatives toward sustainability, decarbonization, and efficiency in energy use. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors owing to its cost-effectiveness and non-polluting character.
Under the development trend of distributed power generation, the high cost of PV power generation and the excessive consumption of PV cell materials have become a growing concern (Song et al., 2023).
