Hi there, I've recently started the research phase for a solar-powered Tiny House and it's all going well so far. However, while looking at the inverters linked below, I came across the following information which has confused me. They state that for inductive appliances (fridge, AC, washer, microwave, etc...) the inverter would require 3-7 times the rated power of the appliance. The second link even mentions that, for fridges, you should have 10 times the rated power! I'm no electrician but this seems astronomical to me and very budget unfriendly. On every post/video that I've come across, it seems as though everyone is ignoring this as they have not sized their systems to allow for 3-10 times the power of their inductive load.
I am also considering the following appliances but I would turn off almost everything else when running these for short periods:
So, my question is, what size inverter would work for my needs? I've decided on a 24V system and so if there are any good inverter recommendations for my system I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
