Answers to other electricity questions below.Read more about electricity...Most renewable electricity generators are DC and require an inverter as a component in the system. Inverters convert DC to AC electricity. It is so named because early mechanical AC to DC converters were made to work in reverse, and thus were "inverted" to convert DC to AC. An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); the resulting AC can be at any required voltage with an appropriate transformer. The inverter generally changes the electricity from, 24 volts DC to 120/240 volts AC to run standard appliances and electricity needs or loads designed for this common voltage. Some electricity loss happens during this change in power (power factor); however, it is unavoidable. Be sure to purchase inverters with at least a 94% power factor, which translates to only a 6% loss of power during the change in voltage. Some of the newest smart inverters employ a technology that keeps a weak or faulty solar panel from degrading the electrical output of your solar electric system. These smart inverters track and report on individual module/panel electricity output instantly and over time. They also alert you when a solar panel is faulty or compromised. They optimize the entire solar electric system output up to 30%. These new inverters sense and match your utility power for synchronization and they disconnect solar panel electricity output into the grid during a utility power outage to meet a utility and national electrical code requirement. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
