An AC module is a photovoltaic module which has a small AC inverter mounted onto its back side which produces AC power with no external DC connector.
Aeroflex Motion Control Products designed controllers and actuators used aboard the MRO Spacecraft (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) to control the Solar Panels and High Gain Antenna.
It is a technological showcase that includes solar panel-powered headlights, integrated child seat, baby cam with a monitor mounted on the dash, inflatable rear safety belts, and an interior quieted by ground rubber taken from Nike athletic shoe outsoles.
The latter may be mitigated by the use of a UPS for the computer and some combination of backup power sources, such as diesel generator, solar panels, a wind turbine or other off-the-grid energy sources.
