太阳电池模板（Photovoltaic Module）、光伏板（Photovoltaic Panel）又称作太阳能模块、太阳能板，是将许多光伏电池（Photovoltaic Cell，太阳能电池）互连并包装的产物，如此互连的而达到的发电规模可提供商业大楼、住宅使用。

单个光伏板也只能产生一定的电力，典型的发电范围从100W到320W。固将许多光伏模块互相连接就成为了光伏数组。使用光伏发电（太阳光发电）通常使用了一个光伏数组或数个光伏模块与一个逆变器、电池组与互连接路。

Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.

A photovoltaic (in short PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6×10 solar cells. Solar Photovoltaic panels constitute the solar array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 365 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a panel or an array of solar modules, a solar inverter, and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring.
