Stand-Alone
This is an independent system that does not use any electricity from the electric power company. It accumulates electric power that is generated by the solar cells in a rechargeable battery during the daytime, and supplies that electric power according to its demand.

PV
This is an abbreviation of “Photovoltaic”,
and it means “Solar Cell “ in
general.
“Cell”, “Module”,
“Array”
Cell refers to a smallest unit that functions as a solar cell. It is a thin silicon plate, measuring
about 10cm, 12.5cm or 15cm square or round in general (in a crystal system).
Module refers to an arrangement of cells that are connected together and housed in a
package so that voltage can be taken out conveniently. A module is the smallest unit
or construction work.
Array refers to an arrangement of modules embedded on a mounting base so that higher
Amounts of electricity can be taken out.
AC is generally used
in households, offices, factories, etc.,
but a solar cell or rechargeable battery
outputs DC.
Accordingly, in order to practical use electricity
that is generated by a solar cell or that
from a rechargeable battery, it is necessary
to convert DC into AC.
The equipment for making such conversion
is a “Power Conditioner“. In
addition, the Power Conditioner not only
works to convert DC into AC, but also controls
the frequency, voltage, current, phase,
effective and ineffective power, synchronization,
output volume (fluctuations in voltage,
higher harmonic waves), etc. The power conditioner
has the following functions:
“Automatic Stop of Operation”,
“Max. Power Follow-up Control”,
“Independent Operation Prevention”,
“Automatic Voltage Adjustment
