- Abstract
- Against global warming more renewable energy should be used [1,6]. The direct use of PV can be cost effective and help reducing it. It can be stand-alone or as a complement of the grid. In the early stage of photovoltaic panels already pumps worked "as and when the sun shines". Gradually PV was used to inject in the grid and at off grid using batteries. However a lot of appliances can operate directly on DC without injecting in a grid, nor batteries. There are a lot of appliances that use SMPS: switched mode power supplies. They often use a rectifier at the input and can work also well in DC, but not mentioned nor guaranteed: so we need a label. Some loads such as laptops also store in their own battery. Electric boilers can also store energy, adaptation is needed as the thermostat and protection switches are not made for DC. Further on, also more industrial processes could be considered: flour mills, waste water pumps. Also charging vehicles and other applications emerge, such as refrigerating and air conditioning.
