I-V curve: This is the graphical plotting of current versus voltage for a solar cell, array or module. When the voltage is zero, the current is called short-circuit current (Isc) and when the current is zero, the voltage is open-circuit voltage (Voc). Thus, the load increases from zero to maximum state. The curveﾒs shape determines the performance of the cell.

I-V data: Refers to the relative information of voltage and current in a solar device that is set in the power- generating quadrant, obtained as set of readings of the two in table form or graphical curve form, in an appropriate coordinate or Cartesian system. (ASTME 1036)

Incident light: It is the light ray falling directly on the solar module or panel surface.

Insolation: This is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface and recorded at a given time. The unit used is joules per square centimeter (J/cm ﾲ) or Watts for every square meter (W/m ﾲ).

Interconnect: A good transferor of electricity or conductor set inside the module or alternative connection means, which enables electrical connectivity between photovoltaic cells. (UL 1703)

Inverters: These devices convert direct current (dc) into alternating current (ac) in either single or multi-phase state. Either it can be applicable for utility interactive systems or stand-alone systems (separate from the grid).
