There are 2 Common Types of Residential / Commercial Solar Panel Systems
Grid-Tie
This type of system works in conjunction with your local power company. The grid-tie system requires no batteries and allows any excess power produced to be sold back to the utility grid.
For example, if your grid-tie solar panel system produces more power than what can be used, it will be credited to your account.
This credit would then be used during the night or cloudy days.
Stand-Alone / Battery Backup
A stand-alone system is self-reliant and independent of the power company. The system uses a combination of solar panels and battery banks to store the energy.
