I think the term you want to search for is solar inverter.

You can start your quest here:

There are probably many other sites you can visit as well, but don't go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place.

Funny, the spell checking nanny didn't underline it for me.

I came here for an argument.

The PV generator is technically not a generator but an inverter, an electronic device that converts direct current from the solar cell array to alternating current that can be used to power AC devices. There is no "exciter".

The PV generator voltage is controlled by the amount of SL striking the surface, and the number of PCs in the circuit. The voltage is also highly dependent on the actual LC, so there really is no VC for your SI, analogous to your RM example.

When I went to a camel lot it was very crowded. I saw 4 times as many camel toes as camels.
