Solar wasted watts/volts
I am curious what happens to the watts /volts when your system is fully charged and you have no demand? Were does the extra power go?

The power from the sun hits the panels either way, if there is a load on the panels some of that power is converted into electricity, about 20% if your lucky with modern panels, the rest heats up the panels or is reflected back just like your roof. If there is no load all of the suns power turns into heat or is reflected and your panel is just a very expensive piece of roofing.
Just imagine if we had 80 or 90% efficient panels not only would we be getting amazing power they would act like amazing insulation too keeping your roof cool.
