I'm in my inverter research stage, and I was originally just going to go with a simple 2000w inverter, but it seems that many advise an inverter/charger if I'm ever in a less sunny area and have access to shore power. Unfortunately I'm starting to agree with these opinions and am entertaining the thought. However the prices on inverter/chargers are crazy!! Many of the recommended ones like the victron and the samlex are waayyy out of my price range.
So I'm wondering if there are any inverter/charges that fall below the $500 mark that don't just straight up suck? Is that not a thing?
Renogy's is a bit over 600... Which hurts to think of spending and that's as far as I can tell a fairly cheap one... Yes I know I'm stingy.
In case it's relevant I'll be running two 230w panels through a 40a mppt (haven't decided which one yet..) and into two 202Ah LifePo4 battery packs I'm building with two separate overkill 120a bms.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
