Problem Statement: The efficiency of the inverter drives the efficiency of a solar panel system because inverters convert Direct Current (DC) (as produced by the solar panels), into Alternating Current (AC) (as used by the electric grid). This leads many to wonder what effect over-sizing or under-sizing an inverter will have on overall system efficiency. As the power input from the system's solar panels goes up and down, the inverter's ability to efficiently convert it from DC electricity to AC electricity differs. As long as the input from the panels falls within the range of the window, the inverter can be considered to be operating optimally. Design & Sizing inverters to optimize solar panel system efficiency: 1. Site description and discover its usage 2. Compute electrical load and reducing the load through efficiency improvements 3. Model a system to meet the building's annual electrical needs
