I finally got my setup running on Oahu. it is a 48v system with used panels and a hybrid inverter. I was able to run a 10,000 btu A.C. all day. Mahalo

A little over 3 years ago I bought two 1,000 watt, grid tie inverters for about $89 each. I did not expect much from them. But, so far, not a single problem. They have been pumping in power to my home, lowering my electric bill for over 3 years and not a single problem with them. There is nothing cheap about them except the price.

That's what I'm talking about. Pretty much same experience as you. Have several inexpensive models around, and not a single one has failed me yet. I'm thrilled the price on all these components for off grid is continuing to be more affordable for everyone. My 1st 2500watt modified sine wave inverter cost over 1200.00 bucks! That was 20 some years ago. Mahalo for sharing that 🤙

I just purchased the watt meter with your link. Thanks for the videos!

Right on! I like this meter pretty good, use it all the time. Happy to help, and thanks for tuning in...aloha 🤙

looking great. surprised how many out their now. A few tests you can do . your meter should do frequency . check it. with load and no load. I got the clamp on ammeter version of same meter you got. I can read DC amps just buy clamping on the black wire. with the load on using meter check battery at battery . then put meter at inverter . if big drop the wires not good enough. a outher way to test this is put one lead on battery plus and outher lead on inverter plus . ok if backwards just a - shows up, this is the voltage drop on pos read lead. do same for neg . great way to check wire and crimp ends. A big voltage drop will show up . letting you know what lead to replace or re crimp end. same with breaker or fuse. for this test a load must be on. also on that inverter just multiply the AC volts and ac amps ang you get watts . that 200Ah battery will do full load on that inverter. your wires will be 2 small for full load. read data sheet on full load amps.

I should really get a tester like that and learn how to use it. I'm going to practice using the one I have more, and chase some of thise values you suggested...many thanks my friend. You're always helping to keep my gray matter getting exercise...aloha 🤙

I have a few inverters too but my only concern with these inverters is why do they start off at 110v? When you put a heavy load on them, the output AC voltage drops to as low as 106V (even 105 sometimes). Some of my appliances like my microwave and washing machine don't like the low AC voltage output. I wish they start off at 120v. My grid AC voltage is always around 120v to 123v. The lowest (very rare) i have seen my grid AC is 113v.

I share your same concern. I'm going to play around with this one more and see if I have issues with 110v like you said. It's the only one I have like that...all others are 120v, and no issues so far. Thanks for sharing this information with us...aloha 🤙

I have the same setup, but I’m having trouble powering up my inverter on my 12v Lithium battery. I’m able to power it from my car battery though. Any suggestions?

Which Pure Sine Inverter do you like Better .. This One or The PSW CON . ?? Thank You for your Help 🙏

So far I like them both...nearly same price. 🤙

Those 12v cables look too small.

Thought there was going to be a output of the real waveform to see how good this inverter was. Using China inverters can generate the same results with a multi meter. Without using an oscilloscope there is only guessing vs knowing.
