Hi Folks,
I have a cheaper 48 volt inverter, which seems to be doing its job ok for the time being.
But I need to get serious about things, so I need to describe a few things about my application before I continue.
1. Eventually I would like this inverter to handle wind and solar but for now I will have my wind generator hooked to it. While it would be nice to have an inverter to handle both, I can use sperate inverters ( one for grid tied solar & one for wind..the wind is an island system, not tied to the grid)
2. I would like for it to be capable of passing NEC ...no crazy grounding issues or anything like that
3. I would like this inverter as pure sine wave around 3000-3500 watts
Eventually I will also be tied to the grid with thel solar array, net metering the solar system, while using seperate circuits for the wind in a battery island configuration.
Do you folks have a preference?....what are the inverters you folks swear by? I hear of Xantrex, Outback's SMA'as etc. These are the ones which always rise to the surface regarding quality, but I have never dealt with any of them, and users like you folks out there have.....what were the good times...what if any, were the bad times?
If I have to go with seperate inverters, I'm looking at the Island/ battery inverter first.
I hope I gave enough info about my situation and didnt throw a " How long is a piece of string" type of question out there
Thanks,
Gavin
