See the Solar Array

When The Photons from Direct Sunlight Hit the Solar Panels
which have small wires embedded in layers of silicone…
A reaction takes place to create electricity and the little wires all lead together
which  then charge  a 12 Volt battery system

The Electricity is stored for overnight use and you can hook up an Inverter to the 12 volt
and turn it into 110 volts.
As much as possible I like to utilize DC 12 volt lighting …motors and appliances.
