Company Profile:
Intermediate-grade silicon used in the manufacture of solar cells. Less expensive than electronic-grade silicon.
Industry:Energy
Electronic circuit to convert direct current voltages (e.g., photovoltaic module voltage) into other levels (e.g., load voltage). Can be part of a maximum power point tracker.
Industry:Energy
See insolation.
Industry:Energy
A battery with large plates that can withstand many discharges to a low state-of-charge.
Industry:Energy
See irradiance.
Industry:Energy
Discharging a battery to 20% or less of its full charge capacity.
Industry:Energy
The time of the day, at a specific location, when the sun reaches its highest, apparent point in the sky; equal to true or due, geographic south.
Industry:Energy
The ampere-hours removed from a fully charged cell or battery, expressed as a percentage of rated capacity. For example, the removal of 25 ampere-hours from a fully charged 100 ampere-hours rated cell results in a 25% depth of discharge. Under certain conditions, such as discharge rates lower than that used to rate the cell, depth of discharge can exceed 100%.
Industry:Energy
See photovoltaic (PV) panel.
Industry:Energy
A slender threadlike spike of pure crystalline material, such as silicon.
