  2. MC4 connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC4_connector

    Large arrays of panels are commonly interconnected in series, made of strings of panels generating 17 V to 50 V each, with overall voltages up to 600 V per string or 1500 V in special large arrays with high voltage panels. The installation manuals on MC4 connectors instruct to avoid using non-Staubli connectors with MC4 connectors.

  3. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Stotz's invention was the forerunner of the modern thermal-magnetic breaker commonly used in household load centers to this day. Interconnection of multiple generator sources into an electrical grid required the development of circuit breakers with increasing voltage ratings and increased ability to safely interrupt the increasing short-circuit ...

  4. Diversity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_factor

    The diversified load is the total expected power, or "load", to be drawn during a peak period by a device or system of devices. The maximum system load is the combination of each device's full load capacity, utilization factor, diversity factor, demand factor, and the load factor. This process is referred to as load diversification.

  5. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    These sockets and plugs are four prong (see receptacle chart above) grounding devices (hot–hot–neutral–ground) available in ratings from 15 to 60 A. The voltage rating is 250 V. Of the straight-blade NEMA 14 devices, only 14-50 and 14-30 are in common use and either may be used for home charging of electric vehicles .

  6. 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.

  7. Shockley–Queisser limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Queisser_limit

    The Shockley–Queisser limit only applies to conventional solar cells with a single p-n junction; solar cells with multiple layers can (and do) outperform this limit, and so can solar thermal and certain other solar energy systems. In the extreme limit, for a multi-junction solar cell with an infinite number of layers, the corresponding limit ...

  8. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

    Grid-tie inverters are used between local electrical power generators: solar panel, wind turbine, hydro-electric, and the grid. [1] To inject electrical power efficiently and safely into the grid, grid-tie inverters must accurately match the voltage, frequency and phase of the grid sine wave AC waveform.

  9. Panel generation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_generation_factor

    Panel generation factor (PGF) [1] is used while calculating the size of solar photovoltaic cells. It is a varying factor depending upon the climate of the site location (depending upon global geographic location). For example, in Thailand it is 3.43, in EU countries it is 2.93, etc. This factor is used in calculation of "Total Watt-Peak Rating ...
