what is produced when sunlight strikes a photovoltaic module

• a picture of the sun

• electricity

• amperage

• heat

solar power is the production of electricity when _______ strikes a a photovoltaic module

• ambient temperature

• a non renewable energy source

• sunlight

• fuel cells

panels are sized by

• square inches

• depth of panel

• voltage

• amperage

a single photovoltaic cell has the capacity to produce

• 120 VAC

• 24 volts VDC

• 5 watts

• 0.5 volts

when connecting a solar panel the technician must connect the solar panel

• directly to the inverter

• to a battery bank and then the inverter

• to a battery bank then a circuit breaker and then the inverter

• to a battery bank then a circuit breaker then a charger and then an inverter

when installing solar panels the crystalline and polycrystalline units should be mounted

• at a 45 degree angle towards the sun for better efficiency

• with at least one inch of clearance under the units for air flow

• flat on the roof

• with 5%loss of output because of temperature
