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

   Power/Voltage-curve of a partially shaded PV system, with marked local and global MPP. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), [1] [2] or sometimes just power point tracking (PPT), [3] [4] is a technique used with variable power sources to maximize energy extraction as conditions vary. [5]

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 ...

5. 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 ...

6. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

   Even though such installations will not produce the maximum possible average power from the individual solar panels, the cost of the panels is now usually cheaper than the tracking mechanism and they can provided more economically valuable power during morning and evening peak demands than north or south facing systems. [29]

7. Parabolic trough - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trough

   A parabolic trough is made of a number of solar collector modules (SCM) fixed together to move as one solar collector assembly (SCA). A SCM could have a length up to 15 metres (49 ft 3 in) or more. About a dozen or more of SCM make each SCA up to 200 metres (656 ft 2 in) length. Each SCA is an independently-tracking parabolic trough. [9]
