2. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.

3. MC4 connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC4_connector

   MC4 connectors are single-contact 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 ...

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 ...

   Left side: solar cells made of polycrystalline silicon Right side: polysilicon rod (top) and chunks (bottom). Polycrystalline silicon, or multicrystalline silicon, also called polysilicon, poly-Si, or mc-Si, is a high purity, polycrystalline form of silicon, used as a raw material by the solar photovoltaic and electronics industry.

6. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_telluride...

   Cadmium telluride photovoltaics. PV array made of cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar panels. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaics is a photovoltaic (PV) technology based on the use of cadmium telluride in a thin semiconductor layer designed to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity. [1] Cadmium telluride PV is the only thin film technology ...

7. Balance of system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_system

   The balance of system (BOS) encompasses all components of a photovoltaic system other than the photovoltaic panels. [1] This includes wiring, switches, a mounting system, one or many solar inverters, a battery bank and battery charger. Other optional components include renewable energy credit revenue-grade meter, maximum power point tracker ...
