- Company Profile:
A process for making inexpensive Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) photovoltaic cells in which a thin film of GaAs is grown atop a thick, single-crystal GaAs (or other suitable material) substrate and then is cleaved from the substrate and incorporated into a cell, allowing the substrate to be reused to grow more thin-film GaAs.
Industry:Energy
The number of repetitions per unit time of a complete waveform, expressed in Hertz (Hz).
Industry:Energy
Parasitic resistance to current flow in a cell due to mechanisms such as resistance from the bulk of the semiconductor material, metallic contacts, and interconnections.
Industry:Energy
A unit of electrical force equal to that amount of electromotive force that will cause a steady current of one ampere to flow through a resistance of one ohm.
Industry:Energy
The increase in solar intensity caused by reflected irradiance from nearby clouds.
Industry:Energy
This indicates the variability in the output frequency. Some loads will switch off or not operate properly if frequency variations exceed 1%.
Industry:Energy
A battery containing nickel and cadmium plates and an alkaline electrolyte.
Industry:Energy
A battery with small plates that cannot withstand many discharges to a low state-of-charge.
