(A) Multiple plastic floats support the PV cells. (B) An example of a common configuration of PV modules for crystalline silicon (c-Si). A glass top layer is followed by encapsulant layers that protect the solar cell and their internal circuitry. A backsheet provides insulation and protection at the bottom, while a frame encases the entire structure for mechanical stability. The junction box, located on the back of the panel, serves as the electrical connection point. Adapted from Aghaei et al. (2022) under a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license.
