2. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   A photovoltaic system, or solar PV system is a 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 directly convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting ...

   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. Solar energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

   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. [63]

5. Applications of photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_photovoltaics

   The smallest, often portable photovoltaic systems are called pico solar PV systems, or pico solar. They mostly combine a rechargeable battery and charge controller, with a very small PV panel. The panel's nominal capacity is just a few watt-peak (1–10 W p) and its area less than 0.1 square metres (1 sq ft) in size.

6. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   A photovoltaic system typically includes an array of photovoltaic modules, an inverter, a battery pack for energy storage, a charge controller, interconnection wiring, circuit breakers, fuses, disconnect switches, voltage meters, and optionally a solar tracking mechanism. Equipment is carefully selected to optimize energy output and storage ...

7. Photovoltaic power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_power_station

   Solar power plants are developed to deliver merchant electricity into the grid as an alternative to other renewable, fossil or nuclear generating stations. [96] The plant owner is an electricity generator. Most solar power plants today are owned by independent power producers (IPP's), [97] though some are held by investor-or community-owned ...
