- Company Profile:
A general category that includes batteries with plates made of pure lead, lead-antimony, or lead-calcium immersed in an acid electrolyte.
Industry:Energy
The period during which a system is capable of operating above a specified performance level.
Industry:Energy
The estimated cost of owning and operating a photovoltaic system for the period of its useful life.
Industry:Energy
Defects, such as dangling bonds, induced in an amorphous silicon semiconductor upon initial exposure to light.
Industry:Energy
The trapping of light inside a semiconductor material by refracting and reflecting the light at critical angles; trapped light will travel further in the material, greatly increasing the probability of absorption and hence of producing charge carriers.
Industry:Energy
An inverter that is tied to a power grid or line. The commutation of power (conversion from direct current to alternating current) is controlled by the power line, so that, if there is a failure in the power grid, the photovoltaic system cannot feed power into the line.
Industry:Energy
A battery containing a liquid solution of acid and water. Distilled water may be added to these batteries to replenish the electrolyte as necessary. Also called a flooded battery because the plates are covered with the electrolyte.
Industry:Energy
The demand on an energy producing system; the energy consumption or requirement of a piece or group of equipment. Usually expressed in terms of amperes or watts in reference to electricity.
Industry:Energy
The wire, switches, fuses, etc. that connect the load to the power source.
