CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1       Preamble A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). ( The Authoritative, 2000 ). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The 200W solar system was determined by load assessment, solar panel number determination, battery requirement and then inverter sizing. A complete solar panel rated at 200w was however purchased, together with 2 no. 150A solar battery, 1500W inverter and also 10A charge controller. These were assembled together with necessary protective... Continue Reading
