Off Grid Power Supply
When deciding to move all or just some of your power off grid, the right setup or method should be well thought out before any components are purchased. You will want to invest some time understanding the different types of dc power supplies the different method of dc conversions. You will also want to make [...]
Voltage Regulator
When using a solar power based charger, such as solar panels you will require some sort of voltage regulator to controller the outputting voltage. This type of voltage regulator is commonly known as a solar charge controller. The size of the system or amount of panels will determine the amperage requirement of the controller. Every solar power home system will require some sort of direct current power reserve, usually in the form of 12 volt or 24 volt battery bank. Therefore you can set your voltage regulator at 12 volts or 24 volts. A full size home electrical panel will...
DC to AC Converter
Using a power inverter as a dc to ac converter. With the use of a 12 volt or 24 volt power inverter you can convert direct current to alternating current to power standard devices. If you have a mobile application in a truck or if you want to use an off grid home backup, you can use a power inverter as a dc to ac converter.
Home Backup Power Solutions
My application is home office with primary power source being solar charging to battery, then an inverter to provide house/office power from batteries. When battery levels drops below voltage required to provide power, need it to switch into line power mode and at a set time (after sunset) to switch the battery to full charge mode. At sunrise the inverter needs to switch back to battery again. This could also be done by simply switching OFF (to Line power)at 10.5 (or as low as possible where it could still provide full power to outlets) and switching ON(battery) at 12.5 volts....
DC to AC Power Inverters for Off Grid Solutions
DC to AC Power Inverters are the ideal tool to use if someone requires a device to harness your solar or wind energy. Most people are looking for solutions to become less grid reliant developing solar panel technology is help people make these ideas a reality. DC to AC Power Inverters allow you to take that raw energy and convert the power into reusable single phase ac current. Single phase alternating current is the current you require to run all standard electronics that plug into a wall outlet. If you are a truck driver looking for off grid power or...
