A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

Solar Panels : Solar panels are an eco-friendly electric generator. Solar panels generate electrical power from the sun by converting sunlight to electricity with no moving parts‚ zero emissions‚ and no maintenance. The solar panel‚ the first component of a electric solar energy system‚ is a collection of individual silicon cells that generate electricity from sunlight. The basic component of a solar panel is solar cell or photovoltaic cell. Solar cell: A solar cell or photovoltaic cell

Advantages of and Problems with Solar Energy by Ethan Goffman I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. – Thomas Alva Edison‚ 1931 The oil embargo of the 1970s prompted a national surge of interest in solar energy. A solar water heater was installed in the White House‚ and photovoltaic panels first came into play‚ notably in California. While previously solar power as a direct source of electricity

falls the whole area is actually covered in darkness except for kerosene lamps or the likes of it. Harnessing solar energy in order to satisfy our energy needs can be a practical and environmentally friendly method to burning precious fuel. Solar power companies can easily help us do this with their knowledge and experience in this field. Except for the initial cost of the accessories‚ solar energy is free and does not leave any residue or waste afterwards. Most places in the modern world have sunshine

for a greener planet and renewable energy sources‚ solar energy is one of the most widely used and abundant in nature. The sun is readily available resource‚ and the energy from the sun can be captured and can be used for many applications. One of the applications is the use of this energy from the Sun for our energy needs. The solar energy from the Sun can be converted into Electrical energy. The device that does this work of converting Solar energy to Electrical energy is the PV cell. This PV
