This indicates the variability in the output voltage. Some loads will not tolerate voltage variations greater than a few percent.
Industry:Energy
A thin sheet of semiconductor (photovoltaic material) made by cutting it from a single crystal or ingot.
Industry:Energy
A chemical element, metallic in nature, used in making certain kinds of solar cells and semiconductor devices.
Industry:Energy
The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere under an electrical pressure of one volt. One watt equals 1/746 horsepower, or one joule per second. It is the product of voltage and current (amperage).
Industry:Energy
A crystalline, high-efficiency compound used to make certain types of solar cells and semiconductor material.
Industry:Energy
The evolution of gas from one or more of the electrodes in the cells of a battery. Gassing commonly results from local action self-discharge or from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte during charging.
Industry:Energy
The period of time that a charged battery, when filled with electrolyte, can remain unused before dropping below a specified level of performance.
Industry:Energy
The portion of charge current that goes into electrolytical production of hydrogen and oxygen from the electrolytic liquid. This current increases with increasing voltage and temperature.
