2. Photovoltaic system performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system...

   Photovoltaic performance monitoring systems serve several purposes - they are used to track trends in a single photovoltaic (PV) system, to identify faults in or damage to solar panels and inverters, to compare the performance of a system to design specifications or to compare PV systems at different locations. This range of applications ...

3. Solar tracker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_tracker

   The effective collection area of a flat-panel solar collector varies with the cosine of the misalignment of the panel with the Sun.. Sunlight has two components: the "direct beam" that carries about 90% of the solar energy [6] [7] and the "diffuse sunlight" that carries the remainder – the diffuse portion is the blue sky on a clear day, and is a larger proportion of the total on cloudy days.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   Solar panels are also known as solar cell panels, solar electric panels, or PV modules. Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called arrays or systems . A photovoltaic system consists of one or more solar panels, an inverter that converts DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity, and sometimes other components such as ...

7. Net metering - Wikipedia

   In Nova Scotia, in 2015, 43 residences and businesses began using solar panels for electricity. By 2017, the number was up to 133. These customers’ solar systems are net metered. The excess power produced by the solar panels is bought back from the homeowner by Nova Scotia Power at the same rate that the utility sells it to its customers.
