The open hardware & DIY Inverter.

If you wants to you your homemade (huge investment) electricity - you need an inverter. Inverters are expensive and are sensitive to misuse (I know - I know twice, stupid in square). They are not even very good (square-wave) or very effective (30% loss of top capacity BEFORE you even draws the first watt). Then there is the is the problem of the grid versus homemade electricity. In the perfect case you would use you own electricity first and the top up with the Grid (when you put on the washing machine, the spot welder..) - but that is a no go (or ridiculous expensive if possible). Most grid providers forbids this and they have no interest in loosing this monopoly - this is a technology that will eventually make its way when governments wakes up and that use to take time - a long time. There are some talk about a grid 2.0 and and this inverter would be i part of that new grid. On the forum www.fieldlines.com there are discussions about a open hardware inverter of this sort, but there is a loooong way to go.
