Polycrystalline Solar Cell
From MoxyWiki
[edit] General Description
This is a general instance of the Polycrystalline Solar Cell. It is a instance of both Solar Cell Unit and Topic. The semantic meaning of this relationship is it described a range of same type solar cell units other then a specific physical existence of the panel.
When we are trying to describe a series of things, usually an instance of both Topic category and the actual category it falls into is generated. But there also exists the possibilities of changing this from an instance to a subcategory if further detailed common properties are summarized and required.
