2.2 Inverters An inverter is a circuit which converts a DC power into an AC power at desired output voltage and frequency. The AC output voltage could be fixed or variable voltage and frequency. This conversion can be achieved either by controlled turn on and turnoff devices (e.g. BJT, MOSFET, IGBT, and MCT etc.) or by forced commutated thyristors, depending on application. The output voltage waveform of an ideal inverter should be sinusoidal. The voltage waveforms of practical inverter are however, non-sinusoidal and contain certain harmonics. Square wave or quasi-square wave voltage maybe acceptable for low and medium power application and for high power application low distorted, sinusoidal waveform are required. The output frequency of…show more content…
 Solar cells make absolutely no noise at all. On the other hand, the giant machines utilized for pumping oil are extremely noisy and therefore very impractical.  Very little maintenance is needed to keep solar cells running. There are no moving parts in a solar cell which makes it impossible to really damage them.  In the long term, there can be a high return on investment due to the amount of free energy a solar panel can produce, it is estimated that the average household will see 50% of their energy coming in from solar panels. 2.5 Disadvantages  Solar panels can be expensive to install resulting in a time-lag of many years for savings on energy bills to match initial investments.  Electricity generation depends entirely on a countries exposure to sunlight; this could be limited by a countries climate.  Solar power stations do not match the power output of similar sized conventional power stations; they can also be very expensive to build.  Solar power is used to charge batteries so that solar powered devices can be used at night. The batteries can often be large and heavy, taking up space and needing to be replaced from time to…show more content…
Commercial use: on roofs of different buildings we can find glass PV modules or any other kind of solar panel. These panels are used there to supply electricity to different offices or other parts of building in a reliable manner. These panels collect solar energy from sun, convert it into electricity and allow offices to use their own electrical power for different purposes 3. Ventilation system: at many places solar energy is used for ventilation purposes. It helps in running bath fans, floor fans, and ceiling fans in buildings. Fans run almost every time in a building to control moisture, and smell and in homes to take heat out of the kitchen. It can add heavy amount on the utility bills, to cut down these bills solar energy is used for ventilation purposes. 4. Power pump: solar power not just help in improving ventilation system at your homes but with that it can also help in circulating water in any building. You can connect power pump with solar power supply unit but you must run it on DC current so that water circulate throughout your
