Terry, It would be easier to help you knowing more about your system needs. Size and purpose; batterie bank capacity. The solar or turbine lead lenghts are also an important consideration. Do you plan on powering your whole house? Do you need sine wave output? Will you be using solar or wind? Consider Ohm's law, with 48 Volts the line losses are one quarter so you can use less copper. If you don't intend on a large or continuoulsy online system I would give a 12 Volt system a closer look. The cumulative losses can be significant in a high power system meant to power a home in which case higher Voltage may have more merrit. Be weary of the budget inveters they can be unreliable. That said my feature rich $279 PMP-3000 Coleman has worked well for intermittant use, the no load current is rather large though.
