20. I have a question concerning such power sources.
They're all DC, and have to be converted to AC to go onto the power grid. But it MUST have a "sinusoidal" wave shape to be useful for that purpose. How is that accomplished with satisfactory efficiency?
Many years of shipboard experience has given me some knowledge of electricity, DC and AC. The only solution that comes to mind would be relatively ancient technology ---motor-generators. Their efficiency isn't all that bad, but I'm assuming that there is a much better and more "elegant" solution.
