Meanings of pv system in English

Berlin's Lehrter Station has had its own glass-roofed PV system in place since 2002.

Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier says he will put a PV system on his roof at home.

To put that in perspective, though, Germany has 300,000 PV systems on homes.

The PV system feeds through two inverters before hitting the grid, where local utilities buy up the surplus.

Japanese PV system installers including Yamada Denki and builders of homes with solar panels such as Sekisui Chemical should also benefit.

Germany now has more than 300,000 PV systems and that is projected to triple by 2013.

On three-quarters of the world's land, solar PV systems today can generate more than 100 times the usable energy per hectare as bioenergy.

Solar electric installations reached 956 megawatts in the United States last year, including 878 MW of PV systems.

One great thing about a PV system is that it is "fit and forget" with little or no maintenance or noise.

What you effectively do when you buy a solar PV system is pre-buy decades of electricity at today's price, thus shielding you from price rises.

As a result, the annual return on Solar PV systems in terms of electricity saved will drop to 2% or less, rendering it unattractive.

Other than California, the states that each installed more than 50 MW of PV systems in 2010 were Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and New Jersey.
