- Company Profile:
The estimated temperature of a photovoltaic module when operating under 800 w/m2 irradiance, 20�C ambient temperature and wind speed of 1 meter per second. NOCT is used to estimate the nominal operating temperature of a module in its working environment.
Industry:Energy
Negative semiconductor material in which there are more electrons than holes; current is carried through it by the flow of electrons.
Industry:Energy
A semiconductor produced by doping an intrinsic semiconductor with an electron-donor impurity (e.g., phosphorus in silicon).
Industry:Energy
Silicon material that has been doped with a material that has more electrons in its atomic structure than does silicon.
Industry:Energy
A measure of the electrical resistance of a material equal to the resistance of a circuit in which the potential difference of 1 volt produces a current of 1 ampere.
Industry:Energy
The maximum possible voltage across a photovoltaic cell; the voltage across the cell in sunlight when no current is flowing.
Industry:Energy
The current and voltage that a photovoltaic module or array produces when connected to a load. The operating point is dependent on the load or the batteries connected to the output terminals of the array.
Industry:Energy
Placement with respect to the cardinal directions, N, S, E, W; azimuth is the measure of orientation from north.
