  • solar = sun, of the sun
  • solar pv = photovoltaic, photovoltaics, electricity, energy, solar power, solar panel, solar shingle, solar tracker, solar battery, sun battery, sun power, renewable energy, RE, clean energy, cleantech, green energy, zero-carbon = Generation of electricity from sunlight, for immediate use, battery-charging, battery-backed (eg off-grid), or grid-tied. See also solar cell and solar panel.
  • solar pv amorphous = a-Si, thin-film = Cheap thin-film technology, typically cheaper per Watt (Wp / Watt-peak) than crystalline panels, and with lower efficiency per unit area, and often shorter lifetimes too. Usually, but not necessarily, silicon based. See also amorphous silicon (Si) solar panel.
