Grid Tie Inverters for Small Solar Panel and Wind Turbine Systems
Renewable energy generated by solar panels and wind turbines is an excellent alternative to non-renewable energy produced by oil, coal, and natural gas. But, using renewable energy can seem a little complicated compared to using energy right off the power grid which our homes and businesses are already set up for. Fortunately, using a grid tie power inverter grid is an easy way to feed solar and wind energy directly back into the power grid. Thus, taking advantage of the generous feed in tariffs offered in many countries.
Inverters are necessary to convert energy produced by wind and sunlight into AC energy that can be accepted by both your home and the power grid. Why should renewable energy be connected to the power grid? The energy supplied from renewable sources such as wind and sunlight will help ease the demand on nonrenewable energy, especially during peak power times. Because sunlight and wind are more or less free resources, this can drive down the cost of energy substantially. In addition, you can receive energy credits by putting watt-hours back into the power grid, making your own energy bills extremely cheap, and even profitable.
The SWEA (Solar & Wind Energy Applications) makes an inverter for small wind turbines and solar panel systems. The SWEA inverter is an excellent solution for home owners and small businesses who want to put power back on the grid. It is not a complex system, but simply a power inverter connected to a grid tie that plugs into existing power outlets. This allows renters to join home owners in helping to reduce carbon foot prints. With today’s grid tie inverters, you don’t have to be an electrical engineer to use green energy anymore. (Please check your local regulations) You simply have to have a passion for helping the environment.
If the complexity of utility connection is preventing you from considering green energy for your home, a power inverter and grid tie system can eliminate the issue. Simply plug your AC power generated by the inverter directly into an outlet in your home, just as you would a microwave or toaster. Not only will your energy costs go down, but you will be helping the overall cost of nonrenewable energy go down for everyone. Easing the demand on nonrenewable energy is great for the environment and your wallet.
