@timbray we charge everything that needs charging(kindle, satphone, music players, etc..)

@neauoire Mm, makes sense, but after that… I'm super ignorant about the practicalities of solar; can you just turn off the panels or something?

@timbray the solar charger stops sending the power to the batteries and the solar panels dissipate the rays as heat.

@neauoire Thanks. (We're doing a house reno and trying to learn solar basics before we pull the trigger on panels.)

@timbray We have a few notes on the topic. The sooner you can make your house independent from the grid, the better :)
