| Inverter
system in Barcroft DEG (Distributed Energy Generation) room. Two units
on left are 5000 watt "Sunny Boy" inverters, which invert
the DC output from the rooftop solar panels into split single phase
240V AC current. The four black units are "Outback VFX3648"
units which are slaved together to produce split single phase 240V
AC current also. The outback inverters produce electrical output as
a type of uninterruptible power supply, drawing off the "Hawker
6-85-21 SCO1" batteries (foreground in green) when there is no
input power, and charging the batteries when solar, line, or generator
electric power is available. The Sunny Boy inverters automatically
synchronize with the power coming out of the Outback inverters.
