High Density Packaging: "shingled" or "gapless" cell technology

A type of photovoltaic (PV) panel designed to capture sunlight and generate electricity from both sides – the front and the back.

Bifacial modules

a device that converts sunlight directly into electricity using the photovoltaic effect

Photovoltaic (PV) module (aka the solar panel)

Albedo light refers to the sunlight that has been reflected off a surface and can be captured by the back side of bifacial solar modules.

Albedo

instantaneous rate of electricity, measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).

Power Output

total amount of electricity in watt-hours (Wh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh)

Energy Production

Energy Yield (Solar)

When solar panels are mounted on structures that are fixed to the ground

Ground-mounted solar systems

Elevated structures that support solar panels, creating covered areas for parking, and walkways.

Carports and Awnings

Solar panels are mounted in a vertical or near-vertical orientation on walls, facades, fences, or other upright structures

Vertical installations (of solar panels)

crucial metric used to assess and compare the economic viability of different electricity generation technologies, including solar power plants

Levelized Cost of Energy

the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest edge of the solar panels

Solar panel mounting height

The angle between the solar panel and a horizontal surface

Tilt Angle

From research and development to manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of solar energy systems

The Solar Industry

a significant factor affecting the performance of solar panels

Shade

distance between consecutive rows of solar panels in a ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) array

Row spacing

voltage is the "electrical pressure" that drives the flow of electrons

Volts and Voltage

current is the rate at which electric charge (electrons) flows through a circuit

Current
