Electrical
Storage and Delivery
Once electricity is generated via solar panels
or wind turbines it needs to be stored so that it is available when
you need it; the common way to do this is with batteries. In order
to keep the batteries from being over-charged, it is necessary to
install a "charge controller," which monitors the state
of charge of the batteries and lowers the voltage applied from the
generating source. For the DC current stored in the batteries to
be useful for most appliances, you will need an "inverter"to
convert it to AC current, and you will also need some safety switches.
These functions can be provided by purchasing separate units, or
you can buy "power panels" that conveniently group them
into a pre-wired configuration.
