When buying 12v to 240v inverters what things should I be looking for?

Gotcha many thanks

Yes I can those rat bags should not be able to get away with that. I am going to send ebay a message about it all. I Have come up with an idea to make them swivel and elevate to match the best sun position .Hopefully I can bring that to a successful fruition

just so I get it in my head I'm looking at buying a small tv Power supply: DC12V Power consumption: 36W is it 36W / 12 =3Ah per day ?

Sorry I redone the maths made an error have edited the post ..Ok so it's just 0.6164kw /12

Bar Fridge math check please ( Hisense 120L Bar Fridge HR6BF121S) .....225kw /365 days = 0.6164kw = 2.5684931507 Amps per day ? ..................... and 2.5684931507/ 12 = 0.21404109589 Ah per day ...does not look correct to me ? Edited

Here is another same size 350 watt https://trailercamperaustralia.com.au/12v-350w-fixed-mono-crystalline-solar-panel-mountable-kit.html

How do the wattages work? This panel is advertised as 300 watts. Under Power it states 201-300watts but under wattage it states 300-399watts.What is it ?

The controller that comes with the panels looks like a throw away item I will be getting something that has bluetooth and tune able to the batteries.I chose these panels for their footprint and weight I could not find any other brands that are the same or similar . I will be running a 240v...
