NABCEP Associate Exam Solar Terms
AC Coupled - ANS-The PV power is managed by using an interactive inverter connected to the
AC crucial loads panel
Accessible, Readily (Readily Accessible) - ANS-Capable of being reached quick for operation,
renewal, or
inspections with out requiring those to whom ready get right of entry to is considered necessary
to climb over or remove obstacles or to
lodge to portable ladders, and so forth.
AFCI: - ANS-An arc‐fault circuit protection tool interrupts arcing faults in the PV source and
output circuits. (Broken
or terrible connections are the reason).
Albedo radiation - ANS-Solar electricity that is contemplated off of the earth.
Alternating‐Current (AC) Module - ANS-A whole, environmentally
protected unit including sun cells, optics, inverter, and other components, one-of-a-kind of
tracker, designed
to generate AC power whilst exposed to sunlight.
Alternating‐Current (AC) Module (Alternating‐Current Photovoltaic Module) - ANS-A whole,
environmentally
covered unit which includes solar cells, optics, inverter, and different additives, distinctive of
tracker, designed
to generate AC power whilst uncovered to daylight.
Altitude angle - ANS-The attitude of something referenced from the horizon toward the zenith,
normally refers back to the
solar (solar altitude perspective).
Altitude attitude - ANS-The attitude of some thing referenced from the horizon in the direction of
the zenith, generally the solar.
Amorphous - ANS-Without shape, as in non‐crystalline.
Ampacity - ANS-The modern carrying capacity of a twine or conductor.
Amps (modern-day) - ANS-A degree of float of electrons into or through a fabric
Anodic - ANS-the cloth that loses rely, the corroded stop (+).
, Anti‐islanding - ANS-A mechanism that stops an inverter from sending electricity into the
application grid when the grid is
down.
Array - ANS-A mechanically included assembly of modules or panels with a help structure and
foundation,
tracker, and other additives, as required, to shape an immediate‐modern energy‐producing unit.
ASCE - ANS-American Society of Civil Engineers.
ASHRAE - ANS-American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air‐Conditioning Engineers
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) - ANS-An employer, office, or character chargeable for
implementing the
requirements of a code or standard, or for approving device, materials, an set up, or a
procedure.
Autonomy - ANS-The quantity of days the battery bank can help masses without requiring a
recharge.
Azimuth - ANS-The cardinal course an item is dealing with. A reading on a compass
Azimuth - ANS-The direction an object is dealing with; 360° reading on a compass
Ballast - ANS-A heavy item used to offset every other weight or pressure which include wind
elevate.
Battery - ANS-A tool that stores and converts the chemical electricity contained in its energetic
substances without delay into
electrical energy.
Battery DOD - ANS-Depth of Discharge is the % of power that is drained from the battery.
Battery SOC - ANS-State of Charge is the % of electricity last in the battery.
Bimodal or Multimodal - ANS-An inverter which can function as stand‐by myself or software
interactive.
Bipolar Photovoltaic Array - ANS-A photovoltaic array that has two outputs, every having
opposite polarity to a
not unusual reference factor or center tap.
