Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- monocrystalline solar panel
- A solar panel made from single-crystal silicon cells, commonly used where good efficiency is needed in a compact panel. This matters when estimating how much sunlight and panel area are needed to keep batteries charged.
- open-circuit voltage
- Open-circuit voltage (Voc) is the voltage measured across a source's terminals when nothing is connected to draw current; for a solar panel it is the maximum voltage in full sun with no load. It matters because any connected device, such as a charge controller or load, must be rated to handle this no-load maximum.
- short-circuit current
- Short-circuit current (Isc) is the maximum current a source can deliver when its output terminals are connected directly together; for a solar panel it is the current produced in full sun with the output shorted. This rating helps in choosing safe wiring, fuses or other protection, and a compatible charge controller.
