光伏太阳能业英语词汇.doc

AC交流电 Alternating current Amorphous silicon solar cell 非晶硅太阳能电池 Thin-film solar cells are usually produced by evaporating several semi-conductor films onto a so-called substrate Ampère 安培 Unit indicating the strength of electric current Assembling system 集成系统 System to install solar modules on roofs, fa?ades or in the field. Azimuth angle 方位角 Describes the deviation from the South towards East-western direction Building-integrated PV (BIPV) Used to describe a structure where PV replaces conventional materials and is integrated into the building. Typically, a photovoltaic array is incorporated into the roof or walls of a building. Roof tiles with integrated PV cells can now be purchased. Arrays can also be retrofitted into existing buildings; in this case they are usually fitted on top of the existing roof structure. Alternatively, an array can be located separately from the building but connected by cable to supply power for the building. By-pass diode 旁路二极管 Conducts the electricity automatically past a module in case it is shadowed in one series. This is supposed to prevent any destruction due to overheating. Circuit 电路 A system of conductors that convey electricity. CdTe solar cell碲化镉太阳能电池 Thin-film solar cell made of very thin CdTe semi-conductor films ( 3 microns) CIS solar cell Thin-film solar cell made of several films of differently doped copper-indium-diselenide Circuit breaker 断路开关 A safety device that shuts off power when it senses too much current. Combiner box 和路箱 Where the electrical wiring from the PV modules is joined together in parallel to combine electrical currents. Conductor 导体 A material that is used to convey electricity, i.e. wires. Conversion efficiency 转换效率 The percentage of electricity that is created by a solar cell as compared to the amount of energy needed to generate that electricity. Current 电流 The flow of electricity between two points. Measured in amps. DC 直流电 Direct current Energetic amortization peri
