I am in the planning phase for a small off grid system on a *very* tight budget. I have been soaking up all the information I can from Will's videos and he mentions a few times that he had good experiences with Giandel inverters.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Vevor 3000 watt (Chinese) inverter for $270, or a Giandel 2000 watt for $370 (Both on Amazon/24v).
I see that most people here agree that cheap Chinese inverters can't do what they advertise. So, the Vevor may not handle any more than the Giandel anyway. Is there any consensus on whether Chinese inverters are a dice roll, or just always bad and unable to deliver what they claim? Are Giandels considered a high quality budget inverter, or is there another trustworthy brand at least as affordable as them?
