27、ic (PV) technology, specific Standards have been prepared by IEC Technical Committee 82 since 1987. The terms and symbols used in the PV industry necessitate a systematisation in order to have a consolidated glossary for experts common understanding. This Glossary lists the terms and symbols that th
28、e PV industry commonly uses. It is a living document that will change as new terms and symbols are added. These have been harmonized with IEC 60050 and other IEC documents as far as possible. All definitions not included in this Technical Specification may be found elsewhere in other IEC documents.
29、NOTE 1 The terms “PV“, “photovoltaic“ and “solar photovoltaic“ can be read and used interchangeably and without the need for stating each term to show that each are applicable and commonly used by the solar photovoltaic industry. NOTE 2 All terms beginning with “solar photovoltaic“ and “PV“ are list
30、ed under their respective “photovoltaic“ names. NOTE 3 The terms are listed alphabetically in ten categories. Under these categories, some of the terms have been grouped into families of related meaning in order for the reader to readily see the differences between the terms. NOTE 4 This Glossary li
31、sts the precise usage of terms. Cross-references are provided to efficiently point the reader to the location of definitions. For example, a “solar photovoltaic array“ may also be referred to as “photovoltaic array“ or “array“ when the reference to it is particularly clear. The definition for this t
32、erm, for example, occurs under the family heading of “photovoltaic“ in the “Solar photovoltaic systems“ section. NOTE 5 The colloquial use of “solar“ as the sole adjective of a noun is discouraged. For example, though “solar array“ may be commonly used in non-technical conversations, the precise ter
33、ms are “solar photovoltaic array“, “photovoltaic array“, and “array“. NOTE 6 Unless specifically noted otherwise, the terms “device“, “cell“, “module“, “array“, “sub-array“, “field“, “component“, “system“, and “product“ refer to items incorporating a photovoltaic device. As a result, each of these t
34、erms can be understood to read as “PV device“, “PV cell“, “PV module“, etc., without having to re-state the term “PV“ each time, though now and then it is useful to re-state “PV“. NOTE 7 The numeric quantities described by many of the terms can be expressed over any convenient unit of time that the
35、user may wish, such as day, month or year. NOTE 8 “Wp“ is not a recommended unit for rated power. For example for a 50 W module, the correct terminology is “the rated power is 50 W“, and not “the power is 50 Wp“. NOTE 9 The documents from which these terms originated are shown in square brackets . S
36、ome adaptations may have occurred.

38、SYSTEMS TERMS, DEFINITIONS AND SYMBOLS 1 Scope and object This Technical Specification deals with the terms and symbols from national and international solar photovoltaic standards and relevant documents used within the field of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. It includes the terms and symbo
39、ls compiled from the published IEC technical committee 82 standards, previously published as technical report IEC 61836:1997. The focus of this Technical Specification is “what do the words mean“ and not “under what conditions do the terms apply“. 2 Normative references The following referenced docu
