Do power inverters run on energy from fossil fuels?
Answered by Damon
Usually a power inverter runs from a battery and generates alternating current from the direct current battery source.
So the question really is: Where does the battery get its energy?
If it is from a car battery then it is probably using gas or diesel fuel, fossil fuel
If it is connected to a battery bank running on solar cells or a windmill or a water wheel, then it is not using fossil fuel.
So my answer is: Maybe.

I'm doing this for a project on solar energy to power a home, so I think I'm good :).

Good, yes.

Also, are there any other backup systems for solar power other than just batteries?
