| Jun 30, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | user57037 | @Curd, I have always assumed that a solar panel delivering power to a load would be slightly cooler than a panel which is not converting incident light to electricity. It seems like a direct consequence of conservation of energy. But I don't think the OP was asking about this. And I have never seen any discussion or proof that this really happens. | |

| Jun 30, 2017 at 6:43 | comment | added | user57037 | The power output of a solar panel can be altered by shifting the solar panel voltage. What happens, when the batteries are full, and the load is satisfied, is that the charge controller shifts the solar panel voltage to a higher value, and thereby harvests only as much power from the panel as it needs. So, you see, there is no "extra energy." | |
