Definition of: Tabling.

In building; the term tabling is used when roof verges are capped with stone slabs.

Definition of: Tanalised timber.

In building; tanalised timbers are typically for floor joists, which have had tanalith-oxide preservative driven into their cellular structure under pressure.

Definition of: Tandem garage.

In property; a tandem garage is a garage long enough for two vehicles to park one behind the other.

Definition of: Terraced house.

In property; a terraced house is a house that is joined to adjoining buildings on both sides.

Definition of: Thin Film

In solar PV manufacturing; a thin film is a layer of semiconductor material, such as copper indium diselenide or gallium arsenide, a few microns or less in thickness, used to make photovoltaic cells.

Definition of: Thin Film Photovoltaic Module

In solar PV manufacturing a thin film photovoltaic module is a photovoltaic module constructed with sequential layers of thin film semiconductor materials.

Definition of: Tie-beam.

In building; a tie beam is the main horizontal roof beam just above the wall that connects the bases of rafters.

Definition of: Tilt Angle

In solar system design; the tilt angle is the angle at which a photovoltaic array is set to face the sun relative to a horizontal position. The tilt angle can be set or adjusted to maximize seasonal or annual energy collection. Usually a domestic system will have an angle fixed.

Definition of: Total Harmonic Distortion

In electrics; total harmonic distortion is the measure of closeness in shape between a waveform and its fundamental component. The level of closeness is handled automatically by the inverter at around 99% efficiency.

Definition of: Town house.

In property; a town house is a three or four storey house with an integral garage occupying the ground floor. They are usually within a town itself and are normally terraced.

Definition of: Trussed.

In building; trussed refers to timber planks framed together to bridge a space.

Definition of: Two-Axis Tracking

In solar system design: two-axis (sometimes called twin-axis) tracking is a photovoltaic array tracking system capable of rotating independently on two axis (e.g. vertical and horizontal).
