How do you turn solar panels on (or off)? I thought they just generate energy whenever light shines on them - if you don't take it out as electricity, they'll just heat up instead. Is that what you meant?
- dzhiurgis 4y ago> heat up instead Given ~20% efficiency I’d guess they heat up by ~20%
- barbacoa 4y ago>How do you turn solar panels on (or off)? They probably mean there is an issue with getting approval from city/utility company to connect them to the grid.
- wrycoder 4y agoOpen circuit, they merely generate a small voltage that blocks carrier drift, and thereby, useful current.
- wccrawford 4y agoThere are breakers and disconnects. The more complicated systems can even control what circuits are powered, and when.
