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

   PV solar systems have varying relationships to inverter systems, external grids, battery banks, and other electrical loads. [6] The central problem addressed by MPPT is that the efficiency of power transfer from the solar cell depends on the amount of available sunlight, shading, solar panel temperature and the load 's electrical characteristics.

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. 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 .

6. Power optimizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_optimizer

   A power optimizer is a DC to DC converter technology developed to maximize the energy harvest from solar photovoltaic or wind turbine systems. They do this by individually tuning the performance of the panel or wind turbine through maximum power point tracking, and optionally tuning the output to match the performance of the string inverter (DC to AC inverter).

7. Photovoltaic system performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system...

   Photovoltaic performance monitoring systems serve several purposes - they are used to track trends in a single photovoltaic (PV) system, to identify faults in or damage to solar panels and inverters, to compare the performance of a system to design specifications or to compare PV systems at different locations. This range of applications ...
