Majority Carriers:The type of current carriers, free electrons or holes, of which a given semiconductor contains the most.
|
|
Minority Carriers:The type of current carriers, free electrons or holes, of which a given semiconductor contains the least.
|
|
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT): Every PV (solar electric) device has a point where maximum current is delivered. MPPT electronically adjusts the output of a PV device to the maximum power point.
|
|
Modified Sine Wave: Also called a quasi waveform. This output looks like a one step staircase. Most loads that will run from a sine wave will run from a modified sine wave. However, things such as digital clocks, laser printers and furnace controllers may have trouble.
|
|
N-type Semiconductor:A doped semiconductor in which the majority current carriers are electrons.
|
|
National Electric Code (NEC): Rules and guide lines instituted by the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) to reduce the risk of fire in any electrical installation. Renewable Energy is now covered in the latest revision of the NEC.
