Helping my in-laws with an off grid system. Currently have 3600 watts of solar, just waiting on the 2/0 cable, with 20 12 v 100 AH batteries, that will be wired in series for 24 volts and 1000AH. The issue I have is that the Magnum Power MagnaSine inverter that he wanted to get is backordered, looking like late next month but that's been updated from late this month. This means I need to find something else that will meet the needs he has.
Specs are 24 VDC input, 240 VAC split phase output at 4-5 KW, must be true sine, and needs a 120/240 VAC battery charger built in so that nothing needs to be done in the rare event they need their generator due to low batteries. Basically if they start the generator it should either be hybrid to supply additional AC power, or straight charging the batteries. As my in-laws are up there in age, the goal is to make it as easy to use as possible. They've run a generator for over 30 years, finally have the money for a decent solar power system that will meet/exceed their needs. The cabin is currently set up with 240 from the generator to a breaker box, then the legs are split to provide power to washer/dryer, internet, TV, and other small devices, so we don't want to have to rewire the whole thing. Since I don't have a background, I'm looking for recommendations for a good inverter that will meet the needs.
He has tried non-true sine inverters and they will not run his on-demand hot water heater's electronics. I think the new gas dryer they have also has issues with electronics if they aren't true sine.
