2. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

   A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

3. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   The manufacturing specifications on solar panels are obtained under standard conditions, which are usually not the true operating conditions the solar panels are exposed to on the installation site. [10] A PV junction box is attached to the back of the solar panel and functions as its output interface.

4. Nominal power (photovoltaic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_power_(photovoltaic)

   The nominal power of PV devices is measured under standard test conditions (STC), specified in standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and UL 1703. Specifically, the light intensity is 1000 W/m 2, with a spectrum similar to sunlight hitting the Earth's surface at latitude 35°N in the summer (airmass 1.5), the temperature of the cells being 25 °C.

[6] [7] 150 MW (Phase 3) with 7.5 hours storage is online from November 2018 [8] [9] Ivanpah Solar Power Facility US: San Bernardino County, California

6. Thin-film solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

   Thin-film solar cells, a second generation of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells: Top: thin-film silicon laminates being installed onto a roof. Middle: CIGS solar cell on a flexible plastic backing and rigid CdTe panels mounted on a supporting structure Bottom: thin-film laminates on rooftops Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or ...

7. Solar panels on spacecraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panels_on_spacecraft

   To increase the specific power, typical solar panels on spacecraft use close-packed solar cell rectangles that cover nearly 100% of the Sun-visible area of the solar panels, rather than the solar wafer circles which, even though close-packed, cover about 90% of the Sun-visible area of typical solar panels on Earth. However, some solar panels on ...

8. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   For example, a solar panel with 20% efficiency and an area of 1 m 2 produces 200 kWh/yr at Standard Test Conditions if exposed to the Standard Test Condition solar irradiance value of 1000 W/m 2 for 2.74 hours a day.

9. Solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

   Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current . [ 2 ]
