   A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

5. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

   Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. Thermophotovoltaic ( TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons. A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

6. Microgrid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

   Microgrid. A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [2] [3] A ' stand-alone microgrid ' or ' isolated microgrid ' only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [4]
