An interactive system is a solar PV system that operates in parallel with, and may deliver power to, an electrical production and distribution network. This is commonly called a grid-tied system.

Figure 1 shows the block diagram of solar lighting system using the PV-Pushback-Effect. It consists of a load (here, it’s an SDL) that’s fed from two sources.

A recent report from GTM Research shows that Balance of Systems (BOS) technologies will make up a majority share of a PV system’s cost in the next year, going from 44.8 percent of a utility ...

Scientists have proposed a novel design for standalone solar PV water pumping systems, using an intermediate supercapacitor buffer to temporarily store solar energy and release it in high-power ...
