-====== Electrical terms ======+====== Electrical terms often seen with solar ======
  
  
   * **I** - current in Amps.  The //I// comes from the archaic term //intensity//.   * **I** - current in Amps.  The //I// comes from the archaic term //intensity//.
 +  * **Imp** current at the panel's maximum power output (see Vmp)
   * **Isc** - Amps when short circuited;  this is when your [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panels]] are connected only to themselves.  This is the highest current your panels can theoretically produce.   * **Isc** - Amps when short circuited;  this is when your [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panels]] are connected only to themselves.  This is the highest current your panels can theoretically produce.
-  * **Setpoint** - a value used to place a limit or border on a particular operation.  If your refrigerator is set hold 40F temperatures then //40F is the setpoint// If your charger floats at 13.2v then //13.2v is the Vfloat setpoint// Setpoints may be preset by the manufacturer or configured by the user. +  * **Pmax** maximum power a panel will make.  Vmp * Imp = Pmax 
 +  * **[[electrical:solar:charge_controller_setpoints|Setpoint]]** - a value used to place a limit or border on a particular operation.  If your refrigerator is set hold 40F temperatures then //40F is the setpoint// If your charger floats at 13.2v then //13.2v is the Vfloat setpoint// Setpoints may be preset by the manufacturer or configured by the user. 
   * **V** - Volts   * **V** - Volts
   * **Vabs** - [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|charge controller]] voltage setpoint for [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption_stage|Absorption stage]]   * **Vabs** - [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|charge controller]] voltage setpoint for [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption_stage|Absorption stage]]
