How does it work ? The battery gets loaded during daytime with the electricity produced by the solar panel (PV). Nighttime is detected by measuring the voltage of the solar panel : Avoid any shadow on the solar panel (trees, houses, traffic signs…). Shadows will considerably impact electricity production of the panel and hence reduce recharging of the battery.
