How does the solar power system work? The panel converts the Sun's energy into a DC
electric current. The current flows to the controller. Then it can flow from the
controller to the lamps. Or it can flow from the controller into the battery. The
battery stores the electricity. The current can flow from the battery into the lamps
through the controller.
If the Sun shines, the DC current can flow from the panel. through the controller
and into the lamps. If the Sun doesn't shine, the current can flow from the battery,
through the controller and into the lamps. If the lamps are off, the current can flow
from the panel, through the controller, and into the battery.
The controller controls the flow of the current. If the battery is full, the controller
stops the flow from the panel into the battery. If the battery is empty, the controller stops
the flow from the battery into the lamps.
Language the Sun shine -s the current flows from the panel.
the Sun does not/doesn’t shine the current flows from the
battery.
