Direct Current (DC) - The type of electricity stored in batteries and generated by solar electric devices.
This system is the same as the previous one, except that it contains a DC to AC inverter, an electronic device which converts direct current into alternating current.

A Power Inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery or other power source to standard 115 volt AC (alternating current) household power.
Direct DC inputs, voltage or current can be specified by range for the Q501 two-wire transmitter with 4-20mA output, available in one or two channels.
DC, in the context of home power systems, generally refers to low voltage direct current as stored in the batteries of the system.
