Installation): An active solar energy system that converts solar energy directly into electricity. Solar Energy System,Passive: A solar energy system that captures solar light or heat without transforming it Rated Nameplate Capacity: The maximum rated to another form of energy or transferring the energy via output of electric power production of a photovoltaic a heat exchanger. system in watts of Direct Current(DC). Solar Energy System,Roof-Mounted: An active solar Solar Collector: A device,structure or a part of a device energy system that is structurally mounted to the roof or structure for the primary purpose of harvesting solar of a building or structure; may be of any size (small-, energy for use in a solar energy system. medium-or large-scale). Solar Energy: Radiant energy received from the sun Solar Energy System, Small-Scale: An active solar that can be collected in the form of heat or light by a energy system that occupies 1,750 square feet of solar collector. surface area or less (equivalent to a rated nameplate capacity of about 15 kW DC or less). Solar Energy System: A device or structural design feather for the collection, storage and distribution of Submitted by the Petition solar energy for space heating or cooling, electricity generation or water heating.
