Solar Generators and Power Inverters: Cost and Efficiency

The leaps and bounds in the development of technology have brought about great changes that, when used wisely, could probably change how the world will look centuries from now.  People are starting to realize how human activities are gravely affecting the environment and steps have been taken to correct it.  One of the innovations with this objective is the solar generator.  Solar generators are sources of power from a renewable source, the sun.  It is one with other products like power inverters that look into recycling energy from a certain source to produce power.

Solar generators are connected to solar panels with photovoltaic cells that harness the sun's energy and store it in deep cell batteries.  The solar panels must be set in a strategic place where it can absorb a sufficient amount of sunlight for storage.  The batteries are connected to power inverters that convert the DC power to AC power required by common household appliances and electronic gadgets. 


Power inverter for cars are a similar form of backup power supply wherein it taps into a DC battery like a vehicle battery, to produce electricity.  It inverts the one-way direction of the current to an alternating one to produce a higher voltage of power.  This allows it to run two or more devices at a given time.  The purchase of the power inverter is relatively lower to the solar generator and requires smaller space for storage or set-up.  It is also mobile because of its size, unlike the latter which requires a more permanent space for maximum utility.
