LOL update.... Magic Smoke Again!

[freejuice]

Well I replaced the tosted Fets in the AIMS inverter and when I flipped the DC breaker the same three fets.....cchhhrrr shhshshsh.
I flipped the DC breaker off, the fired the inverter back on and amazingly it still works but at reduced output....lol, but I cant trust the beast anymore...so I'm going to spring for an Outback inverter....one of those models which is a completely sealed up "can"...I think it was this summer humidity which toasted my AIMS inverter in the first place.
So I don't want to take any chances on roasting an Outback vented model.

 Oh well, time to scour the internet for pricing.

a couple of months ago I saw an auction on E-bay.   "Magic Smoke in a Can"   It had several days left and the current bid was way more than the depth of my pocket.

LOL, that was my inverter..magic smoke in a can...I just didnt know it when I bought it...ever used Esnipe?
 it keeps you out of bidding wars....even if shopping for canned smoke....esnipe does the bidding in the last 6 seconds of the auction

Oh, Wholesale Solar had a good deal on an outback....

 Over time I've heard nothing but good things about Outbacks, hopefully this will be my last inverter.....it has a grid tying feature too, which just might come in handy
