With the rise of technology and the
increasing impacts it has on the environment, more and more people are becoming
conscious of environmental conservation and looking for alternative means of energy that are earth-friendly. The harnessing of solar power has begun to
rise in popularity because of this. Solar generators are basically panels
made of photovoltaic cells that absorb the sun's energy and stores it in deep
cell batteries to be used as needed.
This requires a conducive space where the panel gets unobstructed
sunlight.
There are certain costs, however attached
to the purchase and installation of solar
generators. This is why most people
choose to go for power inverters instead.
Power inverters rely on a DC power source to produce up to 110V of AC
power. This power can run two or more
devices at a time. The most common
source of DC power is vehicle batteries.
Inverters use connector cables that run through either the car's
cigarette lighter for smaller load requirements or directly to the battery for
bigger ones.
High quality power inverters are more
earth-friendly than their gas-fueled counterparts. It basically just utilizes the power that's
already in the car battery and merely inverts the current to produce energy at
a higher wattage as required by most devices.
Compared to the solar generator,
it is lighter and less expensive. The
best features of the power inverter are the audio alarm for low battery levels which
prevents your from running down your battery and the automatic shutdown
function in cases of overloading or overheating.
