  • Nothing happens, the controller will open the circuit and prevent the current from flowing.

    Optimal solution is biting the bullet and getting batteries, the controller will prevent them from being overcharged, and you will need stored energy on an island.

    You could try gravity storage like the other person mentioned but it’s less efficient. During the day the solar panels power a pump/motor to move water/heavy object up high, and at night the water/object moves back down and powers a generator. There’s a lot more loss since you’re going:

    solar energy>electrical energy>rotational energy>hydraulic energy/potential energy>rotational energy>electrical energy

    and each transition will have losses due to friction and heat.










  • Newfy “English” is the Quebecois of English dialects. It’s barely understandable by the rest of the country. An Englishman and an american/Canadian will be able to understand one another mostly with no problem. There will be the odd slang word that trips 'em up but, overall, the message comes across. Newfy is hard to understand what most words are, the accent is thick.

    Similar to a Scottish or Welsh accent, I should think, to north Americans.
