Difference between solar module and solar panel

What is the difference between a solar module and a solar panel?

Answer from the Tenka Power expert꞉

Although the terms solar module and solar panel are often used interchangeably, there is an important difference betweenthem. A solar module is a single unit consisting of several interconnected solar cells. These solar cells convert sunlight directly into electrical energy, a process knownas photovoltaics. Several solar modules can be connected together to achieve the desired output.

A solar panel, on the other hand, often refers to the complete photovoltaic system, which in addition to the solar modules also includes all other components such as inverters, mounting systems and cabling. The solar panel is therefore a more comprehensive term that describes the entire system requiredto convert and use solar energy.
