Power inverters basics

#solarpanels at every rooftop

Power inverters are basic components of solar system.  They convert DC to AC (the house current being used)  however we foresee the manufacture of DC appliances.  The CP, laptops, and electric fans are now DC powered.   Inverters use energy and energy can be further saved by doing away with inverters.  (why transformers are hot and need cooling system  --->like in high voltage transmission  --> the reduction in voltage cause generation of heat.

Inverters are not tops in power savings consumption; solar aircon are; are also trouble prone

Many of us have been led to believe that aircons equipped with inverters are the best when it  comes to saving electrical power consumption.

Well, as the graph here would show, they are not.

They are also trouble prone since they come equipped with computer box (just like our "modelo" cars)  They are prone to electrical surges or even lightning strikes that are not direct (electromagnetic pulse -  emp)  Many inverter equipped aircons have gone kaput for no apparent reasons and you have to buy as in the efi cars, expensive computer boxes.

Solar aircons come with conventional, non electronic units that are sturdy and not prone to electronic malfunction.
