he photovoltaic (PV) cells in the solar electric panels convert the suns’ rays into direct Current (DC) which goes through the inverter then into the house with electricity from the commercial power grid if the house is still on the grid. The solar inverter changes the electricity into Alternating Current (AC) where it is used to power household needs.

If the house is not attached to the power grid, the DC power goes into batteries where it is stored until needed. When the current leaves the battery it goes to the inverter where it is changed to Alternating Current (AC). The electricity then goes into the house to be used as power.

Solar inverters come in 12, 24 and 48 volt units. There are two types of inverters, the Modified Sine Wave (MSW) and True Sine Wave (TSW). The MSW solar powered Toshiba power adapter is the more limited of the two; it will not run as many household items and is not used in home solar energy systems as the TSW inverter.
