Code changes needed to convert 240V/50Hz to 110V/60

}[CODE]
In the attached PDF file, it talks about building an inverter that inverts 12VDC from solar panels to the 240/50Hz AC needed to power household items. What bits of the attached code would have to be changed to make it 110V/60Hz that we use here in the US?

Instead of 20 kHz, you would want 24 kHz. Anyway 24/20*50=60; Not how I arrived at the number.

There probably should be an output filter, so those component values should be changed slightly. Part of the schematic seems missing.

Would the duty cycle list at the beginning of the code have to be changed in order to get the 24KHz frequency? I noticed on looking further through the file that I have attached, that some components would have to be replaced as well in order to get the right frequencies through the system to drive the H-Bridge at 60Hz.

It's basically a class D amplifier https://www.analog.com/en/analog-dialogue/articles/class-d-audio-amplifiers.html# for fixed frequency followed by a filter.

Your modulating the pulse width of a much higher frequency. The width should be amplitude., so I think what you want to do is spit out the amplitude (pulse width) faster.
