Chapter 17 Renewable Sources The problem that our group had to solve is that we had to use the data that we were given on renewable resources in the United States‚ and had to consider the relationship of hydroelectric power with the energy from wind power. Our null hypothesis was there is no relationship between hydroelectric power and wind power. Our alternative hypothesis is there is a relationship between hydroelectric power and wind power. We started by finding the regression analysis for

A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection
