Daytime/Nighttime Conversion of the OM Solar System
Just as our clothing changes depending on whether it's winter or summer or daytime or nighttime, the OM Solar system itself adjusts to different 24-hour and seasonal operational modes. It converts automatically from daytime to nighttime operation, and from summer mode to winter mode and vice-versa.
