In this lesson, students will learn about the most important components of a photovoltaic system. The function of each component will be explained in simple terms. Students will also learn which raw materials are essential for the production of each component. These raw materials will be located on a world map using an atlas. This will help students understand how widely distributed the raw materials needed to build a photovoltaic system can be.
