2. Solar Renewable Energy Certificate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Renewable_Energy...

   Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) or Solar Renewable Energy Credits, are a form of Renewable Energy Certificate or "green tag" existing in the United States of America. SRECs exist in states that have Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) legislation with specific requirements for solar energy , usually referred to as a "solar carve-out ...

3. MC4 connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC4_connector

   MC4 connectors are electrical connectors commonly used for connecting solar panels. The MC in MC4 stands for the manufacturer Multi-Contact (now Stäubli Electrical Connectors) and the 4 for the 4 mm diameter contact pin. MC4s allow strings of panels to be easily constructed by pushing the compatible connectors from adjacent panels together by ...

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. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   In stand-alone photovoltaic power systems, the electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic panels cannot always be used directly. As the demand from the load does not always equal the solar panel capacity, battery banks are generally used. The primary functions of a storage battery in a stand-alone PV system are:

6. Variable renewable energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_renewable_energy

   For example, solar thermal power plants such as Nevada Solar One are somewhat matched to summer peak loads in areas with significant cooling demands, such as the south-western United States. Thermal energy storage systems like the small Spanish Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant can improve the match between solar supply and local consumption. The ...

7. Solar fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_fuel

   In a solar photoelectrochemical process, hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis. To use sunlight in this process, a photoelectrochemical cell can be used, where one photosensitized electrode converts light into an electric current that is then used for water splitting. One such type of cell is the dye-sensitized solar cell. [10]

8. Solar power in the United States - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United...

   The oldest solar power plant in the world is the 354-megawatt (MW) Solar Energy Generating Systems thermal power plant in California. [7] The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a gross capacity of 392 MW. [8]

9. Mini-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-grid

   A solar mini-grid in Bayelsa, Nigeria operated by Renewvia [1]. A mini-grid is an aggregation of electrical loads and one or more energy sources operating as a single system providing electricity and possibly heat, isolated from a main power grid.
