  2. Solar tracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_tracker

    The effective collection area of a flat-panel solar collector varies with the cosine of the misalignment of the panel with the Sun.. Sunlight has two components: the "direct beam" that carries about 90% of the solar energy [6] [7] and the "diffuse sunlight" that carries the remainder – the diffuse portion is the blue sky on a clear day, and is a larger proportion of the total on cloudy days.

  3. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    (An alternative approach commonly used in spacecraft is to divert surplus PV power into a resistive load, allowing the panel to operate continuously at its peak power point in order to keep the panel as cool as possible. [30]) In a grid-connected system, all delivered power from solar modules is sent to the grid.

  4. Nextracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextracker

    In 2024, Nextracker introduced tracker technology that uses weather-forecasting data and AI to automatically adjust solar panel angles into a stow mode ahead of hailstorms to avoid direct hits. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] The product was developed to mitigate the rising cost of insuring solar arrays from hail and other weather-related damage. [ 13 ]

  5. ESP32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32

    ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system-on-chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth.The ESP32 series employs either a Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core variations, an Xtensa LX7 dual-core microprocessor, or a single-core RISC-V microprocessor and includes built-in antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise ...

  6. 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 ]

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    A solar bowl is a type of solar thermal collector that operates similarly to a parabolic dish, but instead of using a tracking parabolic mirror with a fixed receiver, it has a fixed spherical mirror with a tracking receiver. This reduces efficiency but makes it cheaper to build and operate.
