One of the major offshoots of the green lobby group is the continuous use of solar power. Given that the sun is not considered a natural resource (due to its never-ending capabilities), taking benefit of this source of energy is an untapped goldmine. Solar panels at this time are not very useful, converting at less than an optimal rate. However, any type of current that can be derived directly from this enormous furnace can be considered free. At least when the cost of the panel installation is done. The only drawback to this method is that electrical current is type DC (Direct Current). Since a good number of modern homes rely on AC (Alternating Current), this belies the need for a solar inverter.

As more power becomes that of the "clean" variety (i.e. sun, wind, wave etc), there will be more of a need for a solar inverter to switch the power over to that which can be securely used in a household. Most appliances run on 120 volt alternating current, so there will be a massive push to manufacture a PV system that will fill up this void. Manufacturers are able to get government grants for help to build this type of technology, so look ahead to more study and development devoted to this field of study.

Solar inverters will amend the world by making people think more regarding using power cleverly. Even though the sun itself will not run out of power, it is still wise to preserve in case of a major weather event or natural ruin. They can strike at any time, so having power stored up in a set of batteries can be just the ticket for emergencies.

One more way that solar inverters will become more significant is that they are capable of taking a house or business off the grid. That is, enough power is created with the solar power system that extra energy is formed, which the utility company must acquire. This is incentive enough alone to develop this technology to its full potential.

The PV inverter is capable of powering a household and only runs when electricity is called for by an appliance. The power that is generated is typically cleaner than the utility company and this only serves to make machines last longer due to less power spikes and brownout situations that are common with alternating current line.

Finally, for a house that is planning to go entirely solar powered, it will be necessary to have a bank of storage batteries to use in days with no sunshine. These need to be constantly topped off by the solar inverter in order to be presented when required. Without a backup system in place, there is no cause to going fully off grid. There are other solutions to this idea that cost less, but won't be in complete agreement with the green ethics that are being advocated strongly at this time.
