I have that inverter. It works well. I've pulled up to 2160 watts from it. Even with 4, 12v 100ah sealed lead acid batteries fully charged my bank was down to 12.1v in a little over 45 minutes. The inverter handled it fine. It was warm but not hot. I've never used the solar charge controller. I have no use for PWM SCCs. I use a 40amp tracerAN. I bought the inverter with a very small back up system in mind to run my boiler when the power is out, which is rare. That quickly changed to a plan for a larger system. I wish I would have bought a 24v inverter that can be hard wired and handle a neutral ground bond. I'm looking at upgrading to an aims inverter charger 24v / 2000w or one of the MPP Solar or Growatt all in ones so I can run the backup solar on one leg of my generator transfer switch and add more panels. I already have a moes ATS and The AN Tracer MPPT but like the expandability of the all in one's. I would recommend to anyone looking a buying an inverter to seriously consider a 24v or 48v unless absolutely have to have 12v for many reasons.
