How much do you know about solar terms

Blocking Diode: Used to prevent reverse current flow. In a power generation array, a blocking diode is used to prevent current from flowing to one or more failed or shadowed generator panels (or a series of solar panels). Prevents the flow of current from the battery to the PV array during the night or when low current flows out."

Photovoltaic Power System Balance (BOS or Balance of System - photovoltaic): Photovoltaic power generation system in addition to the power generation board matrix, such as switches, control instruments, power temperature control equipment, matrix support structure, power storage components, etc.

Bypass Diode: A diode in parallel with a photovoltaic panel that provides additional current path when the photovoltaic panel is shadowed or fails.

Photovoltaic panels (cells): The smallest component of a solar panel.

Charge Monitor (Meter): A device used to measure current amperage, an ammeter.

Charge Regulator: "The device used to control the speed and/or state of charge of the battery is connected between the photovoltaic panel matrix and the battery pack. Its main function is to prevent the battery from being overcharged by the photovoltaic panel, and at the same time Monitor the voltage of the photovoltaic matrix and/or battery."

Components: Refers to the other devices needed to build a solar power system.

AC/DC Converter: A device that converts AC power to DC power.
