photovoltaic | Providing an electric current under the influence of light or similar radiation. |
|
photovoltaic (pv) array | - An interconnected system of pv modules that function as a single electricity-producing unit. the modules are assembled as a discrete structure, with common support or mounting. in smaller systems, an array can consist of a single module.
- An interconnected system of pv modules that function as a single

|
photovoltaic (pv) cell | - The smallest semiconductor element within a pv module to perform the immediate conversion of light into electrical energy (direct current voltage and current). also called a solar cell.
- The smallest semiconductor element within a pv module to

|
photovoltaic (pv) conversion efficiency | - The ratio of the electric power produced by a photovoltaic device to the power of the sunlight incident on the device.
- The ratio of the electric power produced by a
|
|
photovoltaic (pv) device | - A solid-state electrical device that converts light directly into direct current electricity of voltage-current characteristics that are a function of the characteristics of the light source and the materials in and design of the device. solar photovoltaic devices are made of various semiconductor materials including silicon, cadmium sulfide, cadmium telluride, and gallium arsenide, and in single crystalline, multicrystalline, or amorphous forms.
- A solid‐state electrical device that converts light directly into

|
photovoltaic (pv) effect | - The phenomenon that occurs when photons, the "particles" in a beam of light, knock electrons loose from the atoms they strike. when this property of light is combined with the properties of semiconductors, electrons flow in one direction across a junction, setting up a voltage. with the addition of circuitry, current will flow and electric power will be available.
- The phenomenon that occurs when photons, the "particles" in a
|
|
photovoltaic (pv) generator | - The total of all pv strings of a pv power supply system, which are electrically interconnected.
- The total of all pv strings of a pv power supply system,
|
|
photovoltaic (pv) module | - 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 direct current power under unconcentrated sunlight. the structural (load carrying) member of a module can either be the top layer (superstrate) or the back layer (substrate).
- The smallest environmentally protected, essentially planar,
|
|
photovoltaic (pv) panel | - Often used interchangeably with pv 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).
- Often used interchangeably with pv module (especially in
|
|
photovoltaic (pv) system | - A complete set of components for converting sunlight into electricity by the photovoltaic process, including the array and balance of system components.
- A complete set of components for converting sunlight into

|
photovoltaic cells | Flat cells made from various photovoltaic materials such as silicon, copperindium- gallium-selenide (cigs) and cadmium telluride (cdte). multiple photovoltaic cells are manufactured into large arrays to form photovoltaic panels, usually just called solar panels or pvs. |
|
photovoltaic effect | The effect that causes a volt90 renew 110 www.ata.org.au age to be developed across the junction of two different materials when they are exposed to light. |
