how does one connect an outlet to a solar panel
and
how do you store solar energy?
recommended products please…
You store power in lead acid batteries (heavy duty car batteries). You use a diode with it so when sun goes down the power from batteries doesn’t go back to solar cells.
Then you have to run an inverter that switches power from 12V DC (if you use car batteries) to 120V AC to run household appliances. The inverter is the same thing that you can use in your car if you want to plug laptops etc into your car. It uses your car battery for power and has a receptacle in the inverter identical to want is in your house. You can buy inverters about anywhere, Autozone, Harbor Freight tools , Northern Tools, etc

This can be very expensive for home use energy.
And you need a charge controller, which controlls the charge to your battery ( takes the place of the diode above so use this instead)
Google "homemade solar power" and you’ll get lots of info
