Hello all, new to the forum, working on my second auto-mounted Solar setup.
Several years ago I took 400w of solar and 4 lead acid batteries(12v system) down to California on a Datsun pickup to do some gold mining. I'm currently working on my next incarnation of that setup on a 1978 Toyota Ez-Rider(toyota dolphin style rv), this time starting with 800w(probably going to 1600w later) of solar panels and a 24v Lifepo4 pack built using 32 of the 55ah SAB batteries from batteryhookup(have 16 now, ordering 16 more this coming month will be 8s4p).
I was originally designing a 12v system for it and then decided to move to 24v for obvious reasons(mainly the expense in charge controllers to handle the panels, but the other usual reasons apply as well).
I'm now searching for a reliable brand of inverter, the catch being that I'd like to purchase from Amazon as I have a credit there for the 12v inverter I returned when I change my mind going from 12v to 24v.. Had a Renogy 12v but I can't find any Renogy inverters for 24v systems on Amazon.. Seems Giandel is fairly recognized in the forum any other brands on Amazon have a fair reputation?
I'm not looking for something to run a household of stuff, but I might use a 1000w power tool here or there.. Thinking about 2000-3000w rating. Again, 2000-3000w would be a good 2x what I expect to use on an irregular basis, and probably 10x what I expect to use on a semi-regular basis.
