I've never designed an inverter. One reason is that while I was an engineer at Motorola, I had a summer intern, a student from MIT, working for me. When we decided to design an inverter she told me I should call her dad for some pointers. Her dad happened to be vice president of the division at Motorola that made ballasts for florescent lights which are really inverters. So I called him. He asked me if I'd ever designed an inverter before and I said no. He said, "If you've never designed an inverter before, don't." and that was that.

At that time Motorola offered kits with all the components and a printed circuit pattern for doing your own PC board. You might look for something like that. Another company that sells a lot of components for inverters is Linear Technologies. Call them and ask to speak with an applications engineer. He'll be able to help you.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
