Company Profile:
Solar energy conversion technologies that convert solar energy to electricity, by heating a working fluid to power a turbine that drives a generator. Examples of these systems include central receiver systems, parabolic dish, and solar trough.
Industry:Energy
The month having the combination of insolation and load that requires the maximum energy from the photovoltaic array.
Industry:Energy
See cell barrier.
Industry:Energy
Sunlight received indirectly as a result of scattering due to clouds, fog, haze, dust, or other obstructions in the atmosphere. Opposite of direct insolation.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the weight of the solution to the weight of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature. Used as an indicator of battery state-of-charge.
Industry:Energy
Radiation received from the sun after reflection and scattering by the atmosphere and ground.
Industry:Energy
Electric power plant or utility capacity on-line and running at low power in excess of actual load.
Industry:Energy
Furnace used to make junctions in semiconductors by diffusing dopant atoms into the surface of the material.
Industry:Energy
Hűtési energia a szolgáltatandó (vagy hő- és páratartalom eltávolították) alapján az ésszerű és látens terhel.
Industry:Energy
A compound photovoltaic device in which sunlight is first divided into spectral regions by optical means. Each region is then directed to a different photovoltaic cell optimized for converting that portion of the spectrum into electricity. Such a device achieves significantly greater overall conversion of incident sunlight into electricity. See mulitjunction device.
