An autonomous or hybrid photovoltaic system not connected to a grid. The system may or may not have storage but most have require a battery. Photovoltaic Stand-Alone System

Often used interchangeably with Photovoltaic Module. Especially in one-module systems , but more accurately used to refer to a physically connected collection of modules (i.e., a laminate string of modules used to achieve a required voltage and current). Photovoltaic Panel

The smallest environmentally protected, essentially planar assembly of solar cells and ancillary parts, such as interconnections, terminals and protective devices such as diodes intended to generate dc power under unconcentrated sunlight. The structural Photovoltaic Module

The ratio of electric power produced by a cell at any instant to the power of the sunlight striking the photovoltaic cell. This is typically 9% to 14% for commercially available cells. Photovoltaic Efficiency

The ratio of electric energy produced by a photovoltaic device to the energy from sunlight incident unpn the cell. Photovoltaic Conversion Efficiency
