2. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   The usable power output could thus drop from 70% of the V OC x I SC product to 50% or even as little as 25%. Vendors who rate their solar cell "power" only as V OC x I SC, without giving load curves, can be seriously distorting their actual performance. The maximum power point of a photovoltaic varies with incident illumination.

3. Nominal power (photovoltaic) - Wikipedia

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

   The highest power thus measured is the 'nominal' power of the module in watts. This nominal power divided by the light power that falls on a given area of a photovoltaic device (area × 1000 W/m 2) defines its efficiency, the ratio of the device's electrical output to the incident energy.

4. Photovoltaic system performance - Wikipedia

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

   PV performance can be measured as the ratio of actual solar PV system output vs expected values, the measurement being essential for proper solar PV facility's operation and maintenance. The primary energy input is the global light irradiance in the plane of the solar arrays, and this in turn is a combination of the direct and the diffuse ...

5. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

   Solar inverters convert DC power to AC power and may incorporate MPPT. The power at the MPP (P mpp) is the product of the MPP voltage (V mpp) and MPP current (I mpp). In general, the P-V curve of a partially shaded solar array can have multiple peaks, and some algorithms can get stuck in a local maximum rather than the global maximum of the ...

6. 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 ...

   The latter tends to increase solar cell output voltage while the former acts to erode it. The net effect, therefore, is a combination of the increase in voltage shown for increasing n in the figure to the right and the decrease in voltage shown for increasing I 0 in the figure above.
