solar pv installation
Do most solar photovoltaic systems, which are connected to the grid have no batteries?

Batteries are expensive and most systems today, are sized based on your electric bill for a year, how much irradiance your area gets per year, averaged to per day. They systems people buy are designed that the power company (who often pays part of the cost of your installation) buys your excess power when you are out shopping, working and school in sunny times. They credit your account and supply your power at night and bad weather. Few people get batter back-up. Only people in the back woods away from power lines have the old style, battery based solar PV today. Most are tied seamlessly to the electric grid and sized so that the power you generate, the size of your PV system and the power you get from the power company at night and bad weather is offset by the power they buy from you when you are not using all the power your system generates. Works great. People with horses and buggies resisted cars at first too ;-)

Get back to us when something affordable that works comes along.

solar pv explained

solar pv explained
Those who speak English, can you help?

Can you please explain me the phrase ”terrestrial applications” in the following paragraph? I know it’s not easy, but at lease can you say what does this phrase refer to?

”As photovoltaic (PV) solar electricity started 30 years ago, off-grid applications were cost competitive first in remote rural areas. Off-grid solar PV systems for professional and domestic use were the first terrestrial applications.”

The first application of Photovoltaic electricity were for space craft. These were crazy expensive but were the only practical way to power satellites.
The sentence refers to the first applications on the ground. For remote telecommunications or weather observation sites running miles of wire to power commercially would cost a lot. Manning a site to take care of generators could be done, but anelectricityy source that did not require fuel would pay for the upfront cost.
