| Solar Panels always generate their electrical power in DC Voltages: 12V, 24V, 48V, but most common household appliances including refrigerators, microwaves, TVs, stereos, computers, etc are purchased in AC Models because initially, AC models are cheaper, though DC models do save money on electrical usage down the road.
If you wish to use your new Solar Electric System to power your AC appliances, you are going to need a DC to AC Power Inverter, which takes the standard DC power from your Solar Panels and boosts it up to the 110/220VAC to be used for home appliances, or for selling excess electricity to the utilty grid in a grid-tied Solar Electric system.
The DC to AC Power Inverters from DIY Solar Guide are available in 75W and 400W models, perfect for small to medium applications such as Cell Phones, TVs, Laptop PCs, Stereos, etc.
If you need to use your solar electric system for powering AC appliances, or need to power your cell phone or laptop computer in the car, these DC to AC Power Inverters are the perfect solution. |
