Amaphaneli elanga angamathuluzi aguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube ugesi ngokusebenzisa amaseli e-photovoltaic (PV). Amaseli e-PV enziwe ngezinto ezikhiqiza ama-electron ajabulile lapho evezwe ekukhanyeni. Ama-electron ageleza kusekethe futhi akhiqize ugesi wamanje oqondile (DC), ongasetshenziswa ukunika amandla amadivaysi ahlukahlukene noma agcinwe kumabhethri. Amaphaneli elanga ayaziwa nangokuthi amaphaneli amaseli elanga, amaphaneli kagesi welanga, noma amamojula e-PV. Ungakhetha amandla ukusuka ku-5W ukuya ku-550W.
Lo mkhiqizo uyimojula yelanga. Kunconywa ukuthi kusetshenziswe nezilawuli namabhethri. Amaphaneli elanga anohlelo olubanzi lwezinhlelo zokusebenza futhi angasetshenziswa ezindaweni eziningi, njengemizi, amatende, ama-RV, izikebhe, izibani zemigwaqo kanye neziteshi zikagesi welanga.
