		<description><![CDATA[Batteries are an important component of off-grid and many grid-tied residential solar power systems. They are used to store excess electricity produced by the photovoltaic panels for times when they are producing less electricity than needed, such as at night.  Batteries are used in both off-grid applications and in grid-tied battery-backed systems.  Batteries [...]]]></description>
