INVERTERS

         The power inverter or converter is an electronic device that converts direct current (= usually produced from 12V, 24V and 48V systems) into alternating current 110VAC & 220VAC (=compatible with the grid PPC). The converter is necessary if you are planning to use your solar or wind system to operate electrical and electronic devices that work with alternating current (eg fridge, TV etc.). If your devices are constructed to work directly at a 12V, 24V, 48V current(which is more common in boat, caravans etc.), an inverter is not needed.
