2. 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.

3. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   The efficiency of the solar cells used in a photovoltaic system, in combination with latitude and climate, determines the annual energy output of the system. 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 ...

4. 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 ...

5. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   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 ...

6. 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] Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar ...

7. Photovoltaic power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_power_station

   The land area required for a desired power output varies depending on the location, [22] the efficiency of the solar panels, [23] the slope of the site, [24] and the type of mounting used. Fixed tilt solar arrays using typical panels of about 15% efficiency [ 25 ] on horizontal sites, need about 1 hectare (2.5 acres)/MW in the tropics and this ...
