8.0 System Glossary
Ampere A unit of electrical current. Designates the number of electrons flowing per
second through a conductive material.
Ampere-Hour (Ahr or amp hour): A unit of energy, typically referring to battery
capacity. One ampere of current flowing for one hour.
Azimuth of the Sun: The angular measure between due south and the point on the
horizon directly below the sun.
Array: A number of photovoltaic modules electrically connected to produce a single
electrical output.
Angle of Incidence: The angle between a ray of sunlight striking a surface and a line
perpendicular to that surface. Rays perpendicular to a surface have a zero angle of
incidence.
Battery: Two or more electrochemical cells connected to provide energy storage.
May be used to designate one cell. PV system batteries may be “sealed” or “flooded”.
Blocking Diode: A diode application that prevents a battery from discharging through
the array at night or if the array becomes shaded. Most charge controllers are equipped
with a blocking diode.
Charge Controller (regulator): The PV system component that controls the battery’s
state of charge. It may also provide other system control functions. Also known as a
regulator.
Charge Rate: The current applied to a battery to restore its energy capacity. The
battery manufacturer will usually have a recommended charge rate for their product.
The rate is typically 10 –20 percent of the amp hour capacity at the 20-hour rate.
