Abstract
This project presents the effective utilization of an home inverter by changing it to a dual purpose inverter which acts as an normal home inverter as well as solar inverter, A solar panel and a PWM charging controller are the few requirements for accomplishing this task, The system is implemented using an inexpensive PIC microcontroller The main advantage in this method is the already existing inverter and battery will be used by the PWM charging controller thus reducing the resources needed and hence the cost, As far as possible the charger controller charges the battery from the PV cell and hence less Single phase line consumption is achieved, Battery management system which increases the life time of the battery is an added advantage to this project
