Project Title:
Residential Photovoltaic Power System

Project Description (provided by group):
The P.V. System must perform the following functions:

• Using a photovoltaic solar panel sized to meet a specified load, shall produce DC power to inverter/batteries.
• The DC power must be converted to AC using an inverter.
• The System must automatically switch to backup power upon loss of power from the grid.
• The system must feed power to the load on demand and to the grid when the P.V. panel is producing more power than the demand of the load.
