Solar powered generators use solar panels to convert sunlight into electrical energy and then store that energy in a solar battery.
Solar-powered generators use four fundamental components to convert the sun’s energy into electricity. Those components are solar panels, a charge controller, a battery, and an inverter.
Solar panels, made of photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight into direct current electricity (DC).
A charge controller helps protect the battery from overcharging and overheating by regulating the amount of DC power transferred from the solar panels to the battery.
The DC power generated by the solar panels is stored in a battery.
When you need to use the power generated by the solar generator, a device known as an inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity (via battery-powered outlets), which is the type of electricity that most household appliances and devices use, including lights, TVs, microwaves, coffee makers, toaster ovens, and computer.
A solar generator can even run a refrigerator.
