I think it is a tough battle getting that straight.
If there is one of them, it is a Module.
If there is more than one, then it is a Panel.
All of them together is an Array.
Most customers would like to think: panel versus panels or module versus
modules.
There are a very few other English words that change completely when made
plural...
A Gaggle of Geese
i.e a Panel of Modules. It just sounds weird.
Try using both together, like PV Module Panel. That is what I do...
Thanks

Subject: [RE-wrenches] module / panel
Wrenchers,
Which term do you to describe a single framed unit with either a j-box or
two wire leads on the back, module or panel?
Which term do you believe to be correct and why?
My interpretation is that a single framed unit is a module. Any number of
modules attached to a single detached 'rack' is a panel, and a group of
panels with the same orientation or mounting location/type is an array.
If you agree with my interpretation, what are your thoughts on the
widespread use of the term 'panel' to describe a module.
thanks,
