Balance of system (BOS): All the parts of a PV System excluding the solar module

Ballast: a circuit used to stabilize an electric current, for example, in a fluorescent light. 

Battery: A system in which stored chemical energy is converted directly into electrical energy.  Can be either rechargeable or non-rechargeable. Different to a fuel cell in that it contains a fixed quantity of stored chemical energy rather than a continuous supply of fuel. 

Battery capacity: The total number of ampere-hours (Ah) that a fully charged battery can output.

Battery cell: An individual unit of a battery that can store electrical energy and is capable of furnishing a current to an external load. For lead-acid batteries the voltage of a cell (fully charged) is about 2.2 volts dc. A battery may consist of a number of cells.
Battery cell: Unit individual dari baterai yang dapat menyimpan energi listrik dan mampu furnishing arus ke beban eksternal. Untuk baterai timbal-asam tegangan sel (terisi penuh) adalah sekitar 2,2 volt dc. Sebuah baterai dapat terdiri dari sejumlah sel.

Battery charger: A device used to charge a battery by converting (usually) mains voltage AC to a DC voltage suitable for the battery. Chargers often incorporate some form of regulator to prevent overcharging and damage to the battery.

Battery charger: Perangkat yang digunakan untuk mengisi baterai dengan mengkonversi (biasanya) tegangan listrik AC menjadi tegangan DC yang cocok untuk baterai. Chargers sering menggabungkan beberapa bentuk regulator untuk mencegah pengisian yang berlebihan dan kerusakan pada baterai.

Battery cycle Life: The number of times a battery can undergo a cycle of discharge and recharge before failing. Cycle Life is normally specified as a function of discharge rate and temperature.
Battery cycle Life: Berapa kali baterai dapat menjalani siklus debit dan isi sebelum gagal. Siklus Hidup biasanya ditentukan sebagai fungsi dari tingkat debit dan suhu.

Battery self-discharge: Energy loss by a battery that is not under load.

Battery state of charge (SOC): Extent of battery charge status as a percentage of full charge.  Also 100 per cent minus the Depth of Discharge.

Battery state of charge (SOC): Tingkat status baterai biaya sebagai persentase dari biaya penuh. Juga 100 persen dikurangi Depth Discharge.

BIPV: Building Integrated Photovoltaics. As the name suggests, this is where PV modules are integrated in to the building construction materials as on integrated unit.

BIPV: Bangunan Terpadu Fotovoltaik. Seperti namanya, ini adalah tempat PV modul yang terintegrasi untuk bahan konstruksi bangunan seperti pada unit yang terintegrasi.

Blocking diode: A diode used to prevent current flow in an undesirable direction e.g. from the rest of the PV array to a failed module or from the battery to the PV array when current generation is low.

Blocking diode: dioda yang digunakan untuk mencegah aliran arus dalam arah yang tidak diinginkan misalnya dari sisa array PV ke modul gagal atau dari baterai ke array PV ketika generasi saat ini rendah.

British Thermal Unit (BTU): The amount of heat energy required to raise one pound of water from a temperature of 60 degrees F to 61 degrees F at one atmosphere pressure. One Watt hour equals 3,413 BTU.

Bypass diode: A diode connected across one or more solar cells in a photovoltaic module such that the diode will conduct if the cell(s) become reverse biased.

Bypass diode: Sebuah dioda terhubung di satu atau lebih sel surya dalam satu modul dioda photovoltaic sedemikian rupa sehingga akan melakukan jika sel (s) menjadi reverse bias.
