Solar Power (photovoltaic)

Photovoltaic Solar Power is a type of solar power system that uses special solar panels which convert sunlight directly into electricity.
A Photovoltaic Solar Power system will consist of items such as: one or more photovoltaic (PV) panels that are typically mounted on a roof; electrical wiring that brings the electricity down from the roof; a DC/AC power converter (also known as an inverter); a racking system that holds the solar panels to the roof; and electrical interconnections. The system may also include a maximum power point tracker; battery system and charger; solar tracker; energy management software; and solar concentrators.
If your solar power system is the type that makes hot water instead of electricity, then you should instead mark the checkbox for Solar Power (thermal).
