Abstract: This project aims to design and implement a solar inverter system that generates pollution-free electricity from solar energy during the day and stores it in a battery for use during the night or in transportation vehicles. . A solar inverter, or PV inverter, converts the direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-line electrical network. The system consists of a 12V 15W solar panel, a 12V 4Amp battery. . Solar energy can be used directly for heating applications and converted to electricity via photovoltaic cells.
