The heart of the Photo-Voltaic System (PVS) is the INVERTER. An on-grid inverter’s main job is to convert DC power generated from the PV array into usable AC power. Hybrid inverters go a step further and work with batteries to store excess power as well.

The Inverter being installed at Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban is a hybrid or Grid-Interactive Inverter that controls and monitors the connection of the electricity from the power plants. In addition, it also controls the disconnection of excess power from the plants. It ensures the dispatch of power at the peak time based on demand.

Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban is a strong supporter of Pope Francis’ challenge to take care of our common home. Thank you to our sponsors and benefactors who helped put this Green Initiative Project together and a reality.

After the PVS Installation theory was given by Mr. Erazo, Batch 48 proceeded to the actual installation of the solar panels at the roof of our gymnasium.

The solar panels is the component of the Photo Voltaic System (PVS) that harvests the power of the sun and turns it into usable power source. Be careful … Safety First

Mr Alrey Erazo gave a lecture on PVS Installation to the remaining Batch 48. This program is part of the Green TVET inititiative of Don Bosco-One TVET Philippines, Inc. of which Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban Inc. is an active member.This is a concrete response to Pope Francis challenge in Laudato Si of taking care of our common home.
