 ===== how solar power works =====
-Solar power uses [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panels]] to convert sunlight into electricity.  This power is usually stored in a [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery|deep-cycle "house" battery]], which is seperate from the vehicle's starter battery.  Electricity from the panels is fed to the battery by a [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|solar charge controller]], which keeps the battery [[electrical:12v:charging|optimally charged]] and powers any [[electrical:12v:loads|loads]] (things that consume power).
