Battery supplied electricity

1 PV modules convert sunlight into DC electricity.
2 A solar charge controller (or battery charger)
limits the rate at which electric current is added
to or drawn electric batteries. It prevents
overcharging and may prevent against
overvoltage, which can reduce battery lifespan,
and may pose a safety risk. It may also prevent
completely draining ("deep discharging")
a battery, or perform controlled discharges,
depending on the battery technology, to protect
battery life. The terms "charge controller"
or "charge regulator" may refer to either
a stand-alone device, or to control circuitry
integrated within a battery pack, battery-
powered device, or battery recharger.
3 Off-grid PV system uses deep cycle batteries
that are capable of supplying large amounts of
power for both short and long time periods.
Unfortunately many people substitute standard
car/truck batteries, but are disappointed when
they fail in a very short time. If you want your
appliances to work, run your refrigerator, stay
cool and your water to flow, then you need the
reliability of a good quality deep cycle battery.
4 Inverter converts the PV modules' direct-
current (DC) electricity to alternating current
(AC) to run daily home appliances.
