[0003] The output power of photovoltaic (PV) modules in a solar-storage system fluctuates significantly due to variations in sunlight levels, affecting the operational stability of the load. Typically, when solar energy is abundant, PV modules convert solar energy into electricity, partly to meet the load's power needs, and storing excess energy in energy storage components such as batteries. When solar energy is insufficient, energy storage components can be used to power the load. This maximizes the utilization of renewable green energy, reduces grid power consumption, and achieves energy conservation and emission reduction goals.
