DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Photovoltaic (PV) – a technology that uses a solar module in order to convert light
or energy from the sun to electricity

2. PV Module – a device composed of solar cells that convert light or energy from the
sun to electricity.

3. PV Panel – a group of PV modules connected in series and/or parallel in a single


support structure

4. PV Array – a group of PV modules connected in series and/or parallel in different


support structures

5. Load – are devices such as lighting fixtures, appliances, or the likes that requires
electricity

6. Battery – a device that stores electricity typically rated in Ampere-hours. For PV


systems in the Philippines, car batteries are commonly used.

7. Controller – an electronic device used to cut off charging to the battery when the
battery is full and to disconnect the battery from the load when the battery charge is
getting low

8. Direct current – unidirectional flow of electricity, usually type of power being stored
in batteries

9. Alternating current – current that periodically changes its magnitude and direction,
commonly derived directly from the grid-connected power sources

10. Functional Test – test procedures being done on the different PV components
based on their rated operating ranges such as controller set-points, battery voltage,
Voc and Isc of PV modules.

11. Controller Set-points – the maximum and minimum settings that corresponds to the
predetermined depth of discharge and maximum charge of a battery

12. Maximum depth of discharge – is the state of charge of a battery that will provide
maximum life cycles before it needs replacement

13. Commissioning – the process in which a machine or system is put in operation

14. Installation data sheet – record or document of information containing the final
installation lay-out and system specification

15. Power – the delivery of energy typically measured in Watts

33. National Certificate (NC) – is a certification issued to individuals who achieve all the
required units of competency for a national qualification defined under the Training
Regulations. NCs are aligned to specific levels within the PTQF

34. Performance Criteria - are evaluative statements that specify what is to be


assessed and the required level of performance

35. Qualification - is a cluster of units of competencies that meet job roles and are
significant in the workplace. It is also a certification awarded to a person on
successful completion of a course in recognition of having demonstrated
competencies in an industry sector

36. Range of Variables - describes the circumstances or context in which the work is to
be performed

37. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – is the acknowledgement of an individual’s


skills, knowledge and attitudes gained from life and work experiences outside
registered training programs

38. Resource implications - refers to the resources needed for the successful
performance of the work activity described in the unit of competency. It includes
work environment and conditions, materials, tools and equipment

39. Basic Competencies - are the skills and knowledge that everyone needs for work

40. Training Regulations (TR) – refers to the document promulgated and issued by
TESDA consisting of competency standards, national qualifications and training
guidelines for specific sectors/occupations. The TR serve as basis for establishment
of qualification and certification under the PTQF. It also serves as guide for
development of competency-based curricula and instructional materials including
registration of TVET programs offered by TVET providers

41. Underpinning knowledge and attitude- refers to the competency that involves in
applying knowledge to perform work activities. It includes specific knowledge that is
essential to the performance of the competency

42. Underpinning skills - refers to the list of the skills needed to achieve the elements
and performance criteria in the unit of competency. It includes generic and industry
specific skills

43. Depth of Discharge (DoD) - is a an alternate method to indicate a battery's State of


charge (SOC). The DOD is the inverse of SOC: as one increases, the other
decreases. While the SOC units are percent points (0% = empty; 100% = full), the
units for DOD can be Ah (e.g.: 0 = full, 50 Ah = empty) or percent points (100% =
empty; 0% = full)

44. Solar insolation - is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface
area in a given time. It is commonly expressed as average irradiance in watts per
square meter (W/m²) or kilowatt-hours per square meter per day (kW·h/(m²·day)).
