  2. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    In power engineering, a single-line diagram (SLD), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1] [2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    From a solar cell to a PV system. Diagram of the possible components of a photovoltaic system. Multiple solar cells in an integrated group, all oriented in one plane, constitute a solar photovoltaic panel or module. Photovoltaic modules often have a sheet of glass on the sun-facing side, allowing light to pass while protecting the semiconductor ...

  5. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

    A photovoltaic system, or solar PV system is a 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 directly convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Photovoltaic power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_power_station

    The 40.5 MW Jännersdorf Solar Park in Prignitz, Germany. A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power.

  8. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    Systems registered in the register of systems prior to 29 September 2008: 50 MW for solar-thermal systems. Systems registered after 29 September 2008 (PV only). The capacity limits for the different system types were re-defined during the review of the application conditions every quarter (art. 5 RD 1578/2008, Annex III RD 1578/2008).

  9. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

    An electrical power system containing a 10% contribution from PV stations would require a 2.5% increase in load-frequency control (LFC) capacity over a conventional system [jargon] —an issue which may be countered by using synchronverters in the DC/AC-circuit of the PV system. The break-even cost for PV power generation was in 1996 found to ...
