Rooftop photovoltaic power station Rooftop photovoltaic power station A rooftop photovoltaic power station, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic system that has its electricity-generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure. The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters and other electrical accessories. Rooftop mounted systems are small compared to ground-mounted photovoltaic power stations with capacities in the megawatt range. Rooftop PV systems on residential buildings typically feature a capacity of about 5 to 20 kilowatts (kW), while those mounted on commercial buildings often reach 100 kilowatts or more.
Length of a module formal algebraic geometry. Let "M" be a (left or right) module over some ring "R". Given a chain of submodules of "M" of the form we say that "n" is the "length" of the chain. The length of "M" is defined to be the largest length of any of its chains. If no such largest length exists, we say that "M" has infinite length. A ring "R" is said to have finite length as a ring if it has finite length as left "R" module. The zero module is the only one with length 0. Modules with length 1 are
