Nominal power (photovoltaic) be described as having "one kilowatt-peak" in the meaning "one kilowatt of peak power". Similarly outside the SI, the peak power is sometimes written as "P = 1 kW" as opposed to "P = 1 kW". In the context of domestic PV installations, the kilowatt (kW) is the most common unit for peak power, sometimes stated as kW. The output of photovoltaic systems varies with the intensity of sunshine and other conditions. The more sun, the more power the PV module will generate. Losses, compared to performance in optimal conditions, will occur due to non-ideal alignment of the module in
Mir Docking Module November, leaving STS-71 as the only Shuttle-"Mir" docking mission requiring "Kristall" to be relocated. In addition to simplifying space shuttle docking missions, "Mir"'s docking module was also used as a carrier for two new photovoltaic arrays, mounted to the module in boxes, which were later deployed on "Kvant"-1 during spacewalks. The first, the "Mir" Cooperative Solar Array, was jointly designed by NASA and Russia in order to test designs for the future International Space Station. The array was 42 m² in area, and provided 6.7 kW of power when installed on the station during expedition EO-21 in 1996. The array
