2. 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

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. Charge controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_controller

   By way of example, a 150 volt PV array connected to an MPPT charge controller can be used to charge a 24 or 48 volt battery. Higher array voltage means lower array current, so the savings in wiring costs can more than pay for the controller. [citation needed] Charge controllers may also monitor battery temperature to prevent overheating.

5. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   Solar panels are usually guaranteed for 25 years (but inverters tend to fail sooner), [160] [161] with little maintenance or intervention after their initial set-up, so after the initial capital cost of building any solar power plant, operating costs are extremely low compared to existing power technologies.

6. 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 ...

7. 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 ...
