The third is that they generate direct current (DC) electricity and your home uses alternating current (AC). So you generally need to install a device known as a Solar inverter to perform the conversion.
Lastly there is the fact that sunlight is available during the day but most people tend to want to use it most at night, so you need some means to store or offload residual electricity and there are a number of options here which we'll get to later.
There are broadly two basic types of solar cell commercially available today (there are in fact loads more ... Solar Lighting for Beginners
The two most common storage options are a) batteries and b) the main power company electrical grid. Either way, you need to decide whether to convert the DC current to AC using a device called an inverter or leave it as DC. You can of course also mix and match, which is most easily done by dedicating solar panels to certain applications (say 1 for DC and 2 for AC, or whatever).
The end usage part of the package depends to a large extent on the storage option(s) chosen, but assuming ... A Beginners Guide To The Solar Shed
No electric utility company in the land will connect a grid-tie inverter to a DIY solar panel and you certainly can't do this yourself, which means you can forget asking for a Feed In Tariff so you can get paid for the surplus energy you generate at off-peak hours (typically during the day when the sun is most powerful and ...
