  1. 4. a device that changes the voltage of AC power (step up or down)
  2. 5. a piece of equipment that consumes electricity
  3. 8. a pv system in which the solar panels move to follow the sun
  4. 9. a collection of electrochemical cells in the same case
  5. 11. is a business that design, builds, and install complete PV system for a particular application by matching components from various manufactures
  6. 12. is a company that produces and or distributes electricity to consumers in a certain region or state.
  7. 13. a type of standalone pv system where the output of a pv system or module is directly connected to a DC load

Down
  1. 1. device that converts DC to AC
  2. 2. is a device that combines a rectifier with filters, tranformers and other components to condition dc power for the purpose of battery charging.
  3. 3. a type of PV system that requires a source voltage in order to synchronize and provide power works in parallel with and is connected to the utility grid.
  4. 6. device that changes the voltage and current of DC power
  5. 7. is a metering arrangement where any excess energy exported to the utility is subtracted from the amount of energy imported from it.
  6. 10. a type of PV system that requires batteries and a charge controller
  7. 14. a pv module that has an inverter integrated into it and has no DC output
  8. 15. type of PV system than can be either interactive or stand alone
  9. 16. device that converts AC to DC
