Glossary

Industry language, simplified

Array

This refers to grouping solar panels to maximise their energy absorption. The 'array' is how many panels are used and where they are installed for efficiency.

Export

Sending energy elsewhere. In a solar context, this usually means sending the electricity you've generated back to the National Grid.

kWh

Shorthand for kilowatt-hour, this is the standard unit used to measure electrical energy usage (consumed or produced) during a one hour period.

PV

An acronym for photovoltaic. This refers to technology of solar: how sunlight is convertly directly into electricity using solar panels.

Single-phase

An electrical setup that uses one alternating current (AC) waveform to deliver power, typically used for residential or small-scale solar installations.

Double-phase (or three-phase)

An electrical system that uses multiple AC waveforms, providing more consistent power delivery, commonly used in larger commercial or industrial solar installations.

Battery

A battery bank allows you to harness all the solar energy generated. Instead of sending excess back to the grid, your battery will automatically bank that energy for your future use.

Ground mount

A ground mount solar system is where solar panels are installed on the ground, supported by a frame. It is an alternative to rooftop solar systems and is often used when there is ample land available.
