2. Nominal power (photovoltaic) - Wikipedia

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

   Solar power needs to be converted from direct current (DC, as it is generated from the panel) to alternate current (AC) to be injected into the power grid. Since solar panels generate peak power only for few hours each day, and DC to AC converters are expensive, the converters are usually sized to be smaller than the peak DC power of the panels.

3. 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).

4. Solar-powered calculator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_calculator

   Solar-powered calculators are hand-held electronic calculators powered by solar cells mounted on the device. [1] They were introduced at the end of the 1970s. [2]Amorphous silicon has been used as a photovoltaic solar cell material for devices which require very little power, such as pocket calculators, because their lower performance compared to conventional crystalline silicon solar cells is ...

5. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

   Solar inverters convert DC power to AC power and may incorporate MPPT. The power at the MPP (P mpp) is the product of the MPP voltage (V mpp) and MPP current (I mpp). In general, the P-V curve of a partially shaded solar array can have multiple peaks, and some algorithms can get stuck in a local maximum rather than the global maximum of the ...

6. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   Power drawn directly from the battery will be direct current extra-low voltage (DC ELV), and this is used especially for lighting as well as for DC appliances. An inverter is used to generate AC low voltage, which more typical appliances can be used with. A typical stand-alone solar PV system at a sewage treatment plant in Santuari de Lluc, Spain

7. Solar charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_charger

   A solar charger is a charger that employs solar energy to supply electricity to devices or batteries. They are generally portable. Solar chargers can charge lead acid or Ni-Cd battery banks up to 48 V and hundreds of ampere hours (up to 4000 Ah) capacity. Such type of solar charger setups generally use an intelligent charge controller.
