10 Facts About Photovoltaic system

The energy conversion efficiency of a conventional solar module increased from 15 to 20 percent since 2004 and a PV Photovoltaic system recoups the energy needed for its manufacture in about 2 years.

Grid connected Photovoltaic system is connected to a larger independent grid and feeds energy directly into the grid.

In kilowatt-sized installations the DC side Photovoltaic system voltage is as high as permitted to limit ohmic losses.

Small PV Photovoltaic system is capable of providing enough AC electricity to power a single home, or an isolated device in the form of AC or DC electric.

Terms "solar array" and "PV Photovoltaic system" are often incorrectly used interchangeably, despite the fact that the solar array does not encompass the entire Photovoltaic system.

The term "solar Photovoltaic system" is an often used misnomer for a PV Photovoltaic system.

The number of modules in the Photovoltaic system determines the total DC watts capable of being generated by the solar array; however, the inverter ultimately governs the amount of AC watts that can be distributed for consumption.

Data collected from a monitoring Photovoltaic system can be displayed remotely over the World Wide Web, such as OSOTF.

Hybrid Photovoltaic system combines PV with other forms of generation, usually a diesel generator.

The primary benefit of such a Photovoltaic system is that it avoids the need to sacrifice valuable land area that could be used for another purpose.
