Systems Integration Basics. Solar-Plus-Storage 101. Solar panels have one job: They collect sunlight and transform it into electricity. But they can make that energy only when the sun is shining. That''s why the ability to store solar energy for later use is important: It helps to keep the balance between electricity generation and demand.

4. Charge Your Storage Device. The fourth step in harvesting solar energy is charging your storage device. You need a way to store the energy you generate because you cannot use all of it as it''s generated. Charging the battery is best done with an onboard charging circuit designed for the specific type of battery.
