The operation of the cathodic protection solar system is used to convert the energy of the sun into D.C. Amperage for protection of metal surfaces from the effects of soil side corrosion.  This is accomplished in the following manner:

The photovoltaic effect produces a flow of electrons.  The electrons are excited by particles of light and find the attached electrical circuit the easiest path to travel from one side of the cell to the other.  The solar cell merely takes a percentage of these electrons and directs them to flow in a path.  This flow of electrodes is, by definition, electricity.

Photovoltaic modules (solar panels) convert sunlight into electricity.  Wire conducts the electricity to batteries where it is stored until needed.  On the way to the batteries, the electrical current passes through a controller (ProStar) which will shut off the flow when the batteries become full.  The electricity is used from the batteries through the cathodic protection controller to the cathodic protection system.
