Company Profile:
The voltage developed across a cell by the current flow through the resistance of the cell.
Industry:Energy
A diode connected across one or more solar cells in a photovoltaic module such that the diode will conduct if the cell(s) become reverse biased. It protects these solar cells from thermal destruction in case of total or partial shading of individual solar cells while other cells are exposed to full light.
Industry:Energy
Any method of preventing unwanted current flow from the battery to the photovoltaic array (usually at night). See blocking diode.
Industry:Energy
A chemical element used in making certain types of solar cells and batteries.
Industry:Energy
A type of photovoltaic device made in a continuous process of pulling material from a molten bath of photovoltaic material, such as silicon, to form a thin sheet of material.
Industry:Energy
A polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic material.

rms
See root mean square.
Industry:Energy
See battery capacity.
Industry:Energy
The square root of the average square of the instantaneous values of an ac output. For a sine wave the RMS value is 0.707 times the peak value. The equivalent value of alternating current, I, that will produce the same heating in a conductor with resistance, R, as a dc current of value I.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the average load on (or power output of) an electricity generating unit or system to the capacity rating of the unit or system over a specified period of time.
