The batteries have the function of supplying electrical energy to the system at the moment when the photovoltaic panels do not generate the necessary electricity. When the solar panels can generate more electricity than the electrical system demands, all the energy demanded is supplied by the panels, and the excess is used to charge the batteries.
Solar panels absorb sunlight to produce electrical energy. The inverter converts the absorbed energy into useful electricity. The generated electricity is supplied to the AC breaker panel of the home. And surplus electricity flows to the utility grid via the net meter. The infographic below represents the same.

To understand the operating principles underlying the solar cell, one has to study first the p–n junction diode. Solar cells are made of either homotype p–n junctions, heterotype junctions, or even multi-junction. The homotype is from the same material, whereas the heterotype is from two different materials. The operating principles are the same.
They will increase the accumulated charges at the edges of the field region increasing the cell voltage and driving more current in the outer load circuit. From the previous discussion, it is now clear that a solar cell has a voltage across it and drives current in the load connected to its terminal. It acts as a battery.
Parameter Extraction The precise modeling of a solar cell model is based on the accuracy of the extracted parameters in that model. It is necessary to identify the model parameters before the use of the selected model to simulate the cell behavior.
One of the possible ways to assemble the cells is to bond first the interconnect wire strips to the substrate using a glue material, then the solar cells are bonded to the wires from the back side by conducting silver paste. Finally, the wires are soldered to the front of the next solar cell as shown in Fig. 1.39.
