When a battery is charged by a solar
panel during the day, it may discharge
via that panel after sunset. This
may, of course, be prevented by a diode,
but that has the drawback of a forward
voltage drop of 0.7 V or, in the case of a
Schottky diode, 0.4 V. In many applications.
this is not acceptable.
