Company Profile:
The total of all PV strings of a PV power supply system, which are electrically interconnected.
Industry:Energy
The voltage at which a charge controller will disconnect the photovoltaic array from the batteries to prevent overcharging.
Industry:Energy
A type of electrical current, the direction of which is reversed at regular intervals or cycles. In the United States, the standard is 120 reversals or 60 cycles per second. Electricity transmission networks use AC because voltage can be controlled with relative ease.
Industry:Energy
The voltage difference between the high voltag disconnect set point and the voltage at which the full photovoltaic array current will be reapplied.
Industry:Energy
The smallest environmentally protected, essentially planar assembly of solar cells and ancillary parts, such as interconnections, terminals, (and protective devices such as diodes) intended to generate direct current power under unconcentrated sunlight. The structural (load carrying) member of a module can either be the top layer (superstrate) or the back layer (substrate).
Industry:Energy
The vacancy where an electron would normally exist in a solid; behaves like a positively charged particle.
Industry:Energy
A dopant material, such as boron, which has fewer outer shell electrons than required in an otherwise balanced crystal structure, providing a hole, which can accept a free electron.
Industry:Energy
The region between an n-layer and a p-layer in a single material, photovoltaic cell.
Industry:Energy
often used interchangeably with PV module (especially in one-module systems), but more accurately used to refer to a physically connected collection of modules (i.e., a laminate string of modules used to achieve a required voltage and current).
Industry:Energy
A solar electric or photovoltaic system that includes other sources of electricity generation, such as wind or diesel generators.
