2. 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 ...

3. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

   Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [1] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV ). [ 2 ]

4. Roll Out Solar Array - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_Out_Solar_Array

   Traditional solar panels used to power satellites are bulky, with heavy panels folded together using mechanical hinges. Given a space-bound payload is limited in its mass and volume by necessity, ROSA is 20 percent lighter (with a mass of 325 kg (717 lb)) [ 3 ] and one-fourth the volume of rigid panel arrays with the same performance.

6. 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 ...

7. Slip ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

   A slip ring (in electrical engineering terms) is a method of making an electrical connection through a rotating assembly. Formally, it is an electric transmission device that allows energy flow between two electrical rotating parts, such as in a motor. Slip rings on a hydroelectric generator; A - stationary spring-loaded graphite brushes,

8. Power strip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_strip

   A North American power strip with two USB power ports that includes a built in surge protector. A power strip (also known as a multi-socket, power board and many other variations [a]) is a block of electrical sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable (typically with a mains plug on the other end), allowing multiple electrical devices to be powered from a single electrical socket.

9. Multi-junction solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-junction_solar_cell

   Physically, the main property of a MJ solar cell is having more than one pn junction in order to catch a larger photon energy spectrum while the main property of the thin film solar cell is to use thin films instead of thick layers in order to decrease the cost efficiency ratio. As of 2010, MJ solar panels are more expensive than others. These ...
