24v inverter recommendations

[John Frum]

My brain is not doing well this am - can I put small PV panels to it for the DC charge source? If so, this is perfect for my second / backup setup.

Yes but you will need a solar charge controller

If your considering this then also consider the hybrid units as you will need no addtional SCC. and they cost less.

Wait you bought some of the most expensive batteries, but you now want to cheap out on the inverter?

Helpful post (not)

The Giandel inverter arrived today. The instructions need improvement. One page recommends installing the inverter in an area that has sawdust. I'm sure this will get funnier as time goes by.

A nice feature is the remote (cabled) on/off switch.

I got this one: Cotek 24v, very nice unit.

I realize it's above the budget of the OP, but if you can stretch it; it's supposedly the same OEM as the Samlex one above, but just a little cheaper.

How do you like the Cotek?

Update, it died about 6 months ago after approximately 3yrs of 24/7 use. Developed a dead short somewhere internally and kept blowing fuses
