Company Profile:
Type of a battery charge regulator where the charging current is controlled by a switch connected in parallel with the photovoltaic (PV) generator. Shorting the PV generator prevents overcharging of the battery.
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
The resistance between metallic contacts and the semiconductor.
Industry:Energy
See gallium.
