1. Solar Power Inverter – AC to DC A Presentation By John, Rich, & Tim

2. Introduction with Tim  Purpose: to create a Solar Power Inverter that converts DC power (from the panel) into AC power (used in homes 120v @ 60Hz).  Applications: Alternate power in green homes, or to power appliances.

3. Quick Overview Of How The System Works with Rich  Looking for a viable alternative source of energy? Look no further, just look to the sky.  The sun isn’t going anywhere soon, so we can use it as a viable source of energy.  Pros of Solar Power = it’s renewable, simple and clean, easy to carry and easy to setup, even a child can do it.  How does it work you ask? Things you’ll need….
