Solar panels, technically called photovoltaic modules, are the most visible component of any PV system. These devices convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect, where photons knock electrons loose from silicon atoms to create electrical current.

During the charging phase, lithium ions move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) within the battery cell. This process is reversible, allowing for multiple charge and discharge cycles.
