2. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   A typical stand-alone solar PV system at a sewage treatment plant in Santuari de Lluc, Spain. Stand-alone photovoltaic power systems are independent of the utility grid and may use solar panels only or may be used in conjunction with a diesel generator, a wind turbine or batteries. [1] [2]

3. 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 ...

4. Applications of photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_photovoltaics

   [14] [15] Cuba is working to provide solar power for areas that are off grid. [16] More complex applications of off-grid solar energy use include 3D printers. [17] RepRap 3D printers have been solar powered with photovoltaic technology, [18] which enables distributed manufacturing for sustainable development. These are areas where the social ...

   The device works off-grid so could prove useful in places with limited resources. Nearly 2 billion people lack clean drinking water, and 775 million live without electricity around the world.

6. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   A complete PV-solar system. The whole of the equipment required to set up a working system and for an off-the-grid generation and/or a hook up to the electricity grid herefore is termed a balance of system [10] and is composed of the following parts with PV-systems:

7. Captive power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_power_plant

   Captive power plants are generally used by power-intensive industries where continuity and quality of energy supply are crucial, such as aluminum smelters, steel plants, chemical plants, etc. [3] However, the radical cost declines for solar power systems have enabled the opportunity for less energy-intensive industries to economically grid defect by coupling solar PV with generators or ...
