Solar panel power system contains off-grid and on-grid types, for off-grid type: the panels convert solar energy into electric power and the power will be stored in batteries through controller at daytime, when the loads need power, the battery will charge them through controller; the on-grid system is almost the same, but without battery, it will connect with city grid.
The panels soak up the energy from the sun and then convert the energy into power, electricity, etc. They can also store a lot of energy so that we still have power on cloudy days. Does that help? Without more info, its hard to get more specific.
There are two kinds of solar panel power systems, one is on-grid solar power system, the other is off-grid solar power system. The on-grid solar power system: the solar panel convert sunlight into DC electric, and the DC electric is converted into AC electric by inverter, one part supply for the household load, the other supply to power grid. The off-grid solar power system: the solar panel convert sunlight into DC electric, and charge for the battery or supply for the DC load by controller, if have AC load, it need a inverter to convert DC into DC.
Solar power works by making solar cells of two kinds of glass; one which has been “doped” to have too many electrons, and the other which has been “doped” to have too few electrons. These layers of glass are then glued together with a thin insulation layer in between them. The top layer of glass is the one with too many electrons, the bottom layer of glass has too few electrons, and the insulation allows electrons to pass from the bottom layer to the top layer easily, but not from the top layer to the bottom layer as easily. As photons come flying into this glass sandwich at the speed of light, the photons crash into the electrons in both layers and cause them to start moving. The electrons in the top layer are tightly packed and can’t move much, but the electrons in the bottom layer can move around enough that they end up crossing through the insulation into the top layer. However, because there are already too many electrons in the top layer, the newly arrived electrons have no place to rest. This buildup of electrons creates an “electrical pressure”. Then contacts are glued to the glass top and bottom, and a wire is added to connect the top layer to the bottom, and the electrical pressure which has built up in the top layer now has a way to escape, and the extra electrons which crossed over the bottom to the top can now return to the bottom layer. This flow of electrons from the top layer to the bottom layer is the electricity generated by the solar cell. A solar “panel” is made up of many of these cells wired in series to increase the voltage to make it high enough to do some useful work, such as charging batteries, and many of these panels can be wired together to do such things as supplying power to a building, or even supplying power to the utility grid.
