  2. Balance of system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_system

    Balance of system. The balance of system (BOS) encompasses all components of a photovoltaic system other than the photovoltaic panels. [1] This includes wiring, switches, a mounting system, one or many solar inverters, a battery bank and battery charger. Other optional components include renewable energy credit revenue-grade meter, maximum ...

  3. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

    A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

  4. Solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.

  5. MC4 connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC4_connector

    MC4 connectors are single-contact electrical connectors commonly used for connecting solar panels. The MC in MC4 stands for the manufacturer Multi-Contact (now Stäubli Electrical Connectors) and the 4 for the 4 mm diameter contact pin. MC4s allow strings of panels to be easily constructed by pushing the compatible connectors from adjacent ...

  6. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), [1][2] or sometimes just power point tracking (PPT), [3][4] is a technique used with variable power sources to maximize energy extraction as conditions vary [5]. The technique is most commonly used with photovoltaic (PV) solar systems but can also be used with wind turbines, optical power transmission and ...

  7. Charge controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_controller

    Charge controller. Charging controller of a USB power bank. A charge controller, charge regulator or battery regulator limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries to protect against electrical overload, overcharging, and may protect against overvoltage. [1][2] This prevents conditions that reduce ...

  8. Solar inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_inverter

    Internal view of a solar inverter. Note the many large capacitors (blue cylinders), used to buffer the double line frequency ripple arising due to single-phase ac system.. A solar inverter or photovoltaic (PV) inverter is a type of power inverter which converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be ...

  9. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    A solar cell or photovoltaic cell (PV cell) is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [1] It is a form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current, voltage, or resistance) vary when it is exposed to light.
