Inverters are typically used to convert DC voltages to AC voltages in both residential and commercial photovoltaic systems. Models vary widely in power range from 1 kW to >100 kW and configured serially, in parallel or as modules. Inverters connected to photovoltaic systems can be also designed in such a way to allow energy to transfer to and from the public grid. Inverter input voltage depends on needed power, and in the example of 100 W, the input voltage can be 12, 24, or 48V. Below is a basic configuration of a DC/AC Inverter for Solar photovoltaic systems.

Motion Detection
NaPiOn is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor that provides precise occupancy detection. PIR sensors detect a temperature difference in the form of IR radiation from humans and animals. Output is triggered by a combination of temperature change and motion. Passive components generate no outward signal into the area and are ideal for battery powered and low power consumption applications.
Fully integrated features unique to the NaPiOn include a built-in amplifier, comparator for digital output, power stabilizer, quad PIR element and optical filter. All components are enclosed in a TO-5 metal package delivering a fully functional sensor with added protection from noise interference. Advantages are compact size for easy integration and circuit design simplicity.
A quad sensing element differentiates the NaPiOn and provides more sensitive detection zones than a dual element. Quad element designs can identify presence even with slight motion due to a higher concentration of elements.

NaPiCa is a Cadmium-free light sensor with spectral response similar to that of the human eye. Design consists of a photodiode with a built-in current amplifier. NaPiCa detects visible light and converts to a linear photocurrent output that is proportional to illumination.
Eliminating the need for an external amplifier simplifies the circuit design, and a higher value photocurrent provides greater sensitivity with usable output. NaPiCa provides sufficient output even with incident light attenuation by an enclosure due to a built-in amplifier. Also the NaPiCa photo IC design offers minimal temperature effect on sensitivity.
All NaPiCa models feature silicon chips with a lead(Pb)-free design and RoHS compliance. 3 different models are available: Through-hole with the same terminal shape as CdS cells, SMD for automatic mounting and chip design for compact design and smallest footprint.
Light sensors are used in conjunction with occupancy sensors for daylight harvesting, where artificial lighting is dimmed in proportion to ambient natural sunlight entering a building.

Tilt Sensor
The Tilt Sensor Module captures angle position for optimal sun tracking and maximum energy production. Adjustable upper and lower limits offer an alert function for strong winds or earthquakes.
Tilt sensor module (2 axis detection)
· Complete solution with acceleration sensor, microprocessor and power supply circuit.
· Dimensions: 142mm x 78mm x 49.5mm (L x W x H). · 0 ~ 90° detection angle range (± 45°) / 0.1° typical detection accuracy. · 21.6 ~ 26.4V operating supply voltage, · -40°C ~ +85°C operating temperature and IP67 enclosure. · RS485 communication with MODBUS protocol.
Adjustable offset For ease of installation the tilt sensor module has an adjustable zero point reset function to any absolute angle degree.
In this mode the unit automatically compensates angle and output angle as follows: Output angle = Actual absolute angle compensatory angle
Dynamic range is ±45° and is the maximum detection range under adjustable offset mode.
Adjustable upper and lower limit Solid state relays in the unit turn On or Off based on designated upper and lower limits. When tilt exceeds upper or lower limit, P1 and P2 outputs will turn On.
This is designed as an alert function for strong winds or earthquakes.

Future Energy Solutions
Smart Grid deployment in the near future will offer energy savings, cost reductions and increased reliability to our electrical infrastructure.
Smart meters provide real time energy usage with the option of two-way communication. AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) is a system that measures, collects and analyzes energy usage. AMI offers a platform to control energy distribution and the ability to monitor and control appliances at consumers' homes.
Renewable energy sources are intermittent in nature and stand to benefit from implementation of a Smart Grid. A power infrastructure using renewable sources requires the means to reduce electrical demand by load shedding in periods of low power generation.
A Home Area Network (HAN) extends some capabilities of the Smart Grid into the home using standards such as Zigbee. The ability to shut down or hibernate devices when not in use can provide a significant reduction in energy use.
