A Photovoltaic module that uses optical elements to increase the amount of sunlight incident on a Photovoltaic cell. Concentrating arrays must track the sun. Efficiency is increased, but lifespan is decreased because of the high heat. Photovoltaic Concentrator
The smallest semiconductor element within a photovoltaic module to perform the immediate conversion of light into electrical energy (DC Voltage and DC Current). Photovoltaic Cell
An interconnected system of photovoltaic modules that function as a single electricity producing unit. The modules are assembled in a discrete structure, with common mechanical support or mounting. In small systems, an array can consist of a single modu Photovoltaic Array
Refers to the conversion of light into electricity. Photovoltaic
Phase rotation defines the rotation in a Poly-Phase System and is generally stated as “1-2-3”, counterclockwise rotation. Utilities in the United States use “A-B-C” to define their respective phase names in place “1-2-3”. However some refer to their rot
