A cell (battery) with a captive electrolyte. A primary battery that cannot be recharged.
Industry:Energy
The abrupt and large increase in electrical conductivity exhibited by some metals as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of active time to total time. Used to describe the operating regime of appliances or loads in photovoltaic systems.
Industry:Energy
The covering on the sunny side of a photovoltaic (PV) module, providing protection for the PV materials from impact and environmental degradation while allowing maximum transmission of the appropriate wavelengths of the solar spectrum.
Industry:Energy
The amount of time an inverter (power conditioning unit) can produce at full rated power.
Industry:Energy
The maximum power, usually 3-5 times the rated power, that can be provided over a short time.
Industry:Energy
A method for making sheets of polycrystalline silicon for photovoltaic devices in which molten silicon is drawn upward by capillary action through a mold.
Industry:Energy
The percentage of time (usually expressed in hours per year) when a photovoltaic system will be able to fully meet the load demand.
Industry:Energy
The path followed by electrons from a power source (generator or battery), through an electrical system, and returning to the source.
Industry:Energy
The photovoltaic array output voltage under load. The system operating voltage is dependent on the load or batteries connected to the output terminals.
