levelised cost of electricityThe net present value of the unit-cost of electricity over the lifetime of a generating asset. It is often taken as a proxy for the average price that the generating asset must receive in a market to break even over its lifetime. In American literature the term "Levelised Cost Of Energy" is often used as a synonym which is also abbreviated with LCOE. | |

light energyElectromagnetic radiation in the form of energy carrying photons, integrated over time. Although light energy often only refers to the visible spectrum, light energy can be absorbed by solar cells across the whole solar spectrum, from the invisible infrared light to visible light to ultraviolet light. | |
light soaking‘Light soaking’ in the context of photovoltaics refers to exposing PV cells/modules to radiation with solar spectrum, under controlled conditions. Part of IEC 61646 test routines, test used to measure degradation of thin film modules. | |
lignocellulosic(bio.) A complex of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose present in the cell walls of woody plants. Lignin is the complex constituent of wood that cements the cellulose fibres together and it is very difficult to digest, hardly producing any biogas. | |
lignocelulósicaEs el constituyente complejo de la madera, compuesto por lignina, celulosa y hemicelulosa que aglutina las fibras de la celulosa. Sinónimo: biomasa lignocelulósica | |
