Hi trying to learn more about Solar panels!?

Question

I know that the Solar panels store the power from the sun in the daytime, where does that stored energy go from there? Is it stored in the batteries? And how would you keep the batteries topped up if you had no Electric? by a generator? interested in solar panels for abroad, but need more info.

Answer 1

Solar panels do not store power. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. To store power you need batteries. The usual type of batteries used are lead-acid deep discharge( similar to car batteries). The batteries are charged up during the time the sun is out. However, as a backup you could also have a generator handy to provide power for times when the sun did not shine enough to keep the batteries charged up.

Answer 2

solar panels collect the suns energy and turns that into electricity that is then stored in batteries.
attached to the batteries is another device that takes the power from the batteries and turns it into power you can use in your house.

it is a very expensive power alternative.

The term solar panel is best applied to a flat solar thermal collector, such as a solar hot water or air panel used to heat water, air, or otherwise collect solar thermal energy. But 'solar panel' may also refer to a photovoltaic module which is an assembly of solar cells used to generate electricity. In all cases, the panels are typically flat, and are available in various heights and widths.

An array is an assembly of solar-thermal panels or photovoltaic (PV) modules; the panels can be connected either in parallel or series depending upon the design objective. Solar panels typically find use in residential, commercial, institutional, and light industrial applications.

Solar-thermal panels saw widespread use in Florida and California until the 1920s when tank-type water heaters replaced them. A thriving manufacturing business soon dwindled. However, solar-thermal panels are still in production, and are common in portions of the world where energy costs, and solar energy availability, are high.

Recently there has been a surge toward large scale production of PV modules. In parts of the world with significantly high insolation levels, PV output and their economics are enhanced. PV modules are the primary component of most small-scale solar-electric power generating facilities. Larger facilities, such as solar power plants typically contain an array of reflectors (concentrators), a receiver, and a thermodynamic power cycle, and thus use solar-thermal rather than PV.

The largest solar panel in the world is under construction in the south of Portugal. A 116-megawatt facility covering a 250-hectare south-facing hillside in the southern Alentejo region and it will produce electricity for 21,000 households.[1]
