Needin info on power inverters?

Hi I'm looking for a power inverter for my DYI solar system 12/24v in 120/240 out. But I'm having a prob with the peek power and the consistent flow of watts out.
I bought a 3000w inverter and after receiving it I see it only puts out 650w of consistent power.
What size converter do I need to get a constant flow out of 2000 or 3000w? Or do I have to buy 4 12000w converters to get what I need?
I have a 150w solar panel with a 50amp converter hooked to a 100ah battery to the 3000w inverter. Any help would be great thanks

You need an AIMS Power, 4kW, 24VDC IN, 120/240V split-phase output. It can output 4kW continuously and up to a 12kW surge. I can get you a discount on this inverter, I've got a reseller account with them. MSG me if you like. I attached the manual, it has the specs and details.
While the 4kW may be a little oversized, it's the smallest one with a split-phase output available.

Best Regards,

You don't have enough battery or solar, to even think about 3000 watts. If you need it to last more than 20 minutes.

The system is instaled in our barn. Lights on for a few lights off so 1 panel 1 battery works for now BUT I'm wanting to have 2 or 3000w steady at some point in the barn with more panels and batteries. Was wondering if anybody new what size inverter id need to achieve this?
I bought a 3000w inverter but after receiving it I find out its 3000w peek power and only 650w steady power. I looked at a 12000w inverter but it also only puts out 950w? How the heck do u get a steady 3000w or more from a inverter?
Im playing with solar in the barn becouse I want to solar power my home and it will need 20000w steady I can't understand how u can get that when all the inverters say 2000w 3000w 10000w 12000w 20000w but dont get close to that with steady out put?

You need to be looking at real inverters. The Aims inverter mentioned above is a quality inverter. If you look around this forum you can find a lot of good information.

Also go to the resources section here and read the article on Low Frequency vs High Frequency Inverters.

Have you done an Energy Audit yet? Do you know what it is? Also found in the resources section.

You are throwing around high inverter numbers but you provide no numbers on how many watts you actually need now or later. Also, are some of your numbers typos, such as a "20000 w" "steady" ? What exactly are you using that requires 20,000 Watts continuously, 24/7, if that is even what you mean.

I find it very difficult to understand what you are talking about. Slow down and do some reading before you buy crap and stuff you don't need or understand.
