Inverters to Get More Popular as Victoria Town Contemplates Switching to Renewable Energy

It is no secret that inverters are not just used in vehicles. They are also an essential part of a rooftop solar system because they convert the electricity generated from the solar module from DC power to standard household AC power. With Victoria's Labour Party planning to encourage everyone living in the town of Newstead to switch to renewable energy by 2017, it seems that the popularity of these devices will continue to soar in the coming years.

 According to reports, the Victorian Labour Party wants to convert Newstead, a town of just over 500 people on the Loddon River and about 55 kilometres from Bendigo and 120 kilometres northwest of Melbourne, to become the state's first "solar town." As part of the initiative, focus will be given primarily on the use of solar power and battery storage.

The Labour Party said it will provide $200,000 of grant funding for the local community group behind the project. This will help the organisation draw up a master plan, which is expected to include the purchase of solar panels and pure sine wave inverters. Lily D' Ambrosio, Victoria's shadow minister for Energy and Resources, said the project will greatly benefit everyone living in Newstead.

"Not only will the residents in Newstead reduce their reliance on coal fired power and cut their carbon footprint, they will be driving down household costs through cheaper energy bills," D'Ambrosio said in a statement. She added that the initiative would serve as an example of what the government and the local community can do if they work together. Environment Victoria, an organisation dedicated to promoting the use of renewable energy in the state, also agreed, saying that the initiative could create a "valuable template" that can be used across Victoria.

Meanwhile, if you're thinking of switching to renewable energy, now is the best time to invest in good power inverters. Aside from the fact that you can connect them to solar panels so you can convert the power of the sun to standard household electricity, they also enable you to use a wide variety of electronic devices and power tools wherever you are. All you have to do is to connect the inverter to the battery of your car so you can have a reliable mobile power source.
