Company Profile:
Electrolytic process in which a metal is deposited at the cathode from a solution of its ions.
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 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.
Industry:Energy
A survey that shows how much energy used in a home, which helps find ways to use less energy.
Industry:Energy
The sum of the alternating current loads. This value is important when selecting an inverter.
Industry:Energy
Recombination occurring in the emitter region of a photovoltaic cell.
Industry:Energy
The measure of closeness in shape between a waveform and it's fundamental component.
