The flow of electrical energy (electricity) in a conductor, measured in amperes.
Industry:Energy
An integrated system of electricity distribution, usually covering a large area.
Industry:Energy
Loss caused by a charge controller. One minus tare loss, expressed as a percentage, is equal to the controller efficiency.
Industry:Energy
Energy resulting from the flow of charge particles, such as electrons or ions.
Industry:Energy
A circuit that adjusts the charge controller activation points depending on battery temperature. This feature is recommended if the battery temperature is expected to vary more than ±5°C from ambient temperature.
Industry:Energy
A device containing two conducting electrodes, one positive and the other negative, made of dissimilar materials (usually metals) that are immersed in a chemical solution (electrolyte) that transmits positive ions from the negative to the positive electrode and thus forms an electrical charge. One or more cells constitute a battery.
Industry:Energy
It is common for three elements in photovoltaic system sizing to have distinct temperature corrections: a factor used to decrease battery capacity at cold temperatures; a factor used to decrease PV module voltage at high temperatures; and a factor used to decrease the current carrying capability of wire at high temperatures.
Industry:Energy
A device where sunlight concentrated onto a absorber heats it to a high temperature, and the thermal radiation emitted by the absorber is used as the energy source for a photovoltaic cell that is designed to maximize conversion efficiency at the wavelength of the thermal radiation.
