B) What is a PV module?
PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned AnswersA photovoltaic module is typically a group of solar cells assembled in a commercial unit ready for installation in a system. It is the form in which most power systems are purchased. Usually the PV module has a specified power rating and guaranteed lifetime (commonly ~20 years).

PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned AnswersThis again is a question which depends upon where you live. As far as I know there are no grants, rebates or tax incentives for ordinary folk living in Canada. In the UK, the Labour government recently introduced a PV grant for qualifying homeowners. In some American states, I think purchasers of PV are eligible for a percentage rebate.

Related QuestionsB) How has the efficiency of PV changed historically?
PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned AnswersThe efficiency of photovoltaic devices has been steadily improving since serious attention began to be paid to them in the 1950's. The first selenium cells built by Fritts were <1% efficient. In 1954, Pearson Fuller and Chapin produced silicon solar cell whose efficiency was 4% to 6%. By the early 1970's silicon solar cells were 10% efficient.
Related QuestionsB) How do companies make standard PV measurements anyway?
PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned AnswersThere are ISO standards for some PV measurements, but as far as I can tell the American standards formulated by the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) are the most widely used. Good light sources for this type measurement are extremely expensive and can take a tremendous amount of space, and it's quite common for people without the money or space to use less expensive light sources that aren't quite as good. For that reason, there's no "typical" or "standard" setup.
Related QuestionsB) What is the Energy Payback Time [EPBT] of PV?
PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned Answersfar as I know, no manufacturer has ever released data on the actual energy used for the manufacture of PV modules. I propose that the most useful way to structure this debate is to document an enveloping series of total energies, each envelope taking more factors into consideration.
Related QuestionsIs the PV module a hot water producing system?
Solar PowerNo. The Mitsubishi Electric PV module produces electricity. Solar heating systems provide hot water for household use by using warmth from the sun to heat water in special roof panels. PV systems, in contrast, use energy from sunlight to directly generate electricity.
Related QuestionsWhat happens if the PV module is blocked by leaves?
Solar PowerIf fallen leaves, shadows or the like cover a PV module, resistance increases at the affected area and overall power output decreases significantly. Mitsubishi Electric PV modules incorporate a Bypass Diode function that minimizes the effect of shadows on the unit's surface area. photovoltaics generate electricity from light, not heat, PV technology is highly suitable for cold weather environments, on the whole even generating more power at lower temperatures.
Related QuestionsWhat is a PV cell? Module? Panel? Array?
Sun Light and PowerA PV or photovoltaic cell, the basic unit of a photovoltaic system, converts solar energy into electrical energy. (Please see “What are photovoltaics and what do they do?) A module is a group of interconnected PV cells designed to deliver a selected level of working voltage and current at its output terminals. Modules are produced in standard sizes and power outputs, packaged for protection against environmental degradation, and equipped for incorporation into photovoltaic power systems.
Related QuestionsWhat is PV?
PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned AnswersPV is an acronym which stands for 'photovoltaic', a way of producing electricity from light. More properly, the photovoltaic effect is an aspect of the photoelectric effect, and may be defined as the conversion of electromagnetic radiation to electrical voltage by a material. The photovoltaic material that almost everybody has seen is the silvery amorphous silicon solar cells in solar powered calculators.

Frequently Asked QuestionsThis is the acronym for photovoltaic, which literally means electricity from light. PV modules produce electricity when energy from the sun, in the form of photons, strikes them.Related Questions
SunPower - Home Owners - Solar Basics: FAQsPV is short for photovoltaic (photo=light, voltaic=electricity), another term for solar electric power. PV is a semiconductor-based technology used to convert light energy into direct current electricity, without moving parts, noise, fuel, or pollution. The terms "solar cell" and "PV cell" are used interchangeably.Related Questions
faqThe photovoltaic (PV) process converts sunlight, the most abundant energy source on the planet directly into electricity. The equipment required for this process has no moving parts and as a result requires minimal maintenance. In addition, the electricity is generated with no emissions and no noise. A PV cell consists of two or more thin layers of semiconducting material, most commonly silicon.Related Questions
Geomagnetism Frequently Asked QuestionsThe geomagnetic poles or geocentric dipole, can be computed from the first three Gauss coefficients from a main field model, such as the WMM or IGRF. Based on the current WMM model, the 2005 location of the geomagnetic north pole is 79.74°N and 71.78°W and the geomagnetic south pole is 79.74°S and 108.22°E. The magnetic poles or dip pole are computed from all the Gauss coefficients using an iterative method.Related Questions
Can I tell whether a GEM is from Group A or B by just looking at the module code?
GEM : About the program : Frequently Asked QuestionsYes. Group A GEMs have '5' as the second digit, while Group B modules have a '0'. So a GEM with a code of GEK1509 is from Group A, while GEK1009 is from Group B. If a GEM has ‘9’ as its 2nd digit, then it is one that is cross-listed as both Group A and Group B (see Question 7 above). GEK1511 is cross-listed with IT1001, which is a module under the ICM programme, you are NOT allowed to read it as a GEM.

Can I calibrate a module myself?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsSure, every module that requires calibration comes with calibration instructions. Usually this takes a good frequency counter, volt meter (4+ digits), oscilloscope, and a precise voltage source (+/-1mv). All modules are calibrated before shipping with very accurate test equipment so you don't have to worry about this, but many people like to know what all of those trim-pots are for on the PCB. Many modules require no calibration at all.
