2. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   Usually solar panels are exposed to sunlight for longer than this in a given day, but the solar irradiance is less than 1000 W/m 2 for most of the day. A solar panel can produce more when the Sun is high in Earth's sky and produces less in cloudy conditions, or when the Sun is low in the sky. The Sun is lower in the sky in the winter.

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 ...

   The solar power facility under construction in August 2013. The Ivanpah Solar power project was built on 6 square miles (16 km 2) of public land in the south central Mojave Desert. [62] Project construction was temporarily halted in the spring of 2011 due to the suspected impacts on desert tortoises. [63]

7. Nominal power (photovoltaic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_power_(photovoltaic)

   The nominal power of PV devices is measured under standard test conditions (STC), specified in standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and UL 1703. Specifically, the light intensity is 1000 W/m 2, with a spectrum similar to sunlight hitting the Earth's surface at latitude 35°N in the summer (airmass 1.5), the temperature of the cells being 25 °C.
