I have 4 pv modules 15 volts each .15 amps each. All I can think of doing with them is: wire them into a series to charge a small 12 volt battery. So that i'd have power to charge small usbstuff etc. I'm going to buy the blocking diodes, 12 volt...

How can I charge and discharge a battery at the same time?

I want to make a DIY portable solar USB charger by myself, but i need to know how can I charge and discharge at the same time, the way a laptop would work when plugged in. What would the circuit look kinda like?
