- Company Profile:
Electrolytic process in which a metal is deposited at the cathode from a solution of its ions.
Industry:Energy
Semiconductor material, typically measuring from 200-400 microns thick, that is cut from ingots or ribbons.
Industry:Energy
A nonmetallic (liquid or solid) conductor that carries current by the movement of ions (instead of electrons) with the liberation of matter at the electrodes of an electrochemical cell.
Industry:Energy
A layer of semiconductor material, such as copper indium diselenide or gallium arsenide, a few microns or less in thickness, used to make photovoltaic cells.
Industry:Energy
An elementary particle of an atom with a negative electrical charge and a mass of 1/1837 of a proton; electrons surround the positively charged nucleus of an atom and determine the chemical properties of an atom. The movement of electrons in an electrical conductor constitutes an electric current.
Industry:Energy
A photovoltaic module constructed with sequential layers of thin film semiconductor materials. See amorphous silicon.
Industry:Energy
The amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron when accelerated through an electric potential difference of 1 Volt; equivalent to 1.603 x 10^-19; a unit of energy or work.
Industry:Energy
The angle at which a photovoltaic array is set to face the sun relative to a horizontal position. The tilt angle can be set or adjusted to maximize seasonal or annual energy collection.
Industry:Energy
The capability of doing work; different forms of energy can be converted to other forms, but the total amount of energy remains the same.
Industry:Energy
A wide band-gap semiconductor similar to indium oxide; used in heterojunction solar cells or to make a transparent conductive film, called NESA glass when deposited on glass.
