Charge Controller and Inverter

The main purpose of this project is to design an inverter that will enable the inversion of a DC power source supplied by Photovoltaic (PV) Cells to an AC power source that will be either used to supply a load or connected directly to the utility grid. The benefit of this project is to give access to an everlasting and pollution free source of energy. The future is looking towards alternative power sources all of which will need to be regulated in one form or another. To make this possible a highly efficient low cost product will have to be designed. Among all the different converter designs only a few are capable of providing high power with high efficiency. This will be tested experimentally first by computer simulation and then in the laboratory Implementation.
