## Glossary
### Omega-X SOLAR
* solar:SolarTracker
A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the Sun. Payloads are usually solar panels, parabolic troughs, fresnel reflectors, mirrors or lenses.
* solar:SolarArray
Solar arrays consist of one or many strings of solar panels connected in parallel.
* solar:SolarString
Solar strings consist of one or many solar panels connected in series.
* solar:SolarPanel
Solar panels consist of one or many solar modules integrated in the same mechanical part.
* solar:SolarModule
Solar modules consist of one or many solar cells in parallel to a by-pass diode.
* solar:SolarCell
Device that directly converts the energy of light into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect.
* solar:Inverter
The class of electronic devices or circuitry that change direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).
* solar:PowerModule
A sub unit of PowerInverter with valves for three phases, together with unit control equipment, essential protective and switching devices, DC storage capacitors, phase reactors and auxiliaries, if any, used for conversion.
* solar:Transformer
An electric power transformer is an electric power system that is capable of transforming electricity within a power network, between a primary connection point and a secondary connection point.
* solar:InverterStation
Cabinet of inverters.
* solar:CombinerBox
PowerCabinet wich contain electrical equipments for combining energy coming from solar arrays.
* solar:PowerCabinet
Cabinet for electrical equipments.
