Abstract
A method includes determining, by a controller, an output level of a photovoltaic system. The method includes determining, by the controller, a load on the photovoltaic system. The method includes, in response to determining the output level is greater than the load, directing, by the controller, an excess output from the photovoltaic system to a battery of the photovoltaic system to charge the battery. The method includes, in response to determining the output level is less than the load, determining a charge level of the battery and weather associated with the photovoltaic system. When the charge level of the battery is greater than a charge threshold and the weather indicates further usage of the photovoltaic system, the method includes powering the load from the battery in addition to the photovoltaic system.
