- Company Profile:
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 flow of electrical energy (electricity) in a conductor, measured in amperes.
Industry:Energy
Energy resulting from the flow of charge particles, such as electrons or ions.
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
A nonmetallic (liquid or solid) conductor that carries current by the movement of ions (instead of electrons) with the liberation of matter at the electrodes of an electrochemical cell.
Industry:Energy
An elementary particle of an atom with a negative electrical charge and a mass of 1/1837 of a proton; electrons surround the positively charged nucleus of an atom and determine the chemical properties of an atom. The movement of electrons in an electrical conductor constitutes an electric current.
Industry:Energy
The angle at which a photovoltaic array is set to face the sun relative to a horizontal position. The tilt angle can be set or adjusted to maximize seasonal or annual energy collection.
Industry:Energy
The capability of doing work; different forms of energy can be converted to other forms, but the total amount of energy remains the same.
Industry:Energy
A survey that shows how much energy used in a home, which helps find ways to use less energy.
