Reliable off-grid inverter with notable fan noise
Used for about nine months to convert a shop to off-grid power, paired with 46kWh of batteries and 4kW of DC solar, and also provides backup power to essential home circuits. It can run a shop mini-split and charge an EV at 16 amps at the same time without strain, and has produced over 900 kWh, including 268 kWh in February alone. The main drawback is fan noise, which increases during car charging to about 58db, similar to a mid-range dishwasher.
Pros
- + handles mini-split and EV charging simultaneously
- + produces substantial power over time
- + provides off-grid and backup power
Cons
- − fan noise during charging

Solid backup power with careful installation
Installed with a 5.12 kWh battery for home backup, this 6.5 kW split-phase inverter performs well after several months. It powers critical loads like the furnace, water heater, internet, lighting, and refrigeration for about 5–7 hours during outages. Installation is a significant project requiring substantial copper wire, conduit, and electrical materials, plus solid knowledge of grounding and electrical codes. The heavy battery needs a hoist. An inverter-style generator with stable voltage is needed to recharge the battery; older conventional generators may not work.
Pros
- + Provides 5–7 hours of backup for critical loads
- + Works well after several months
- + Allows generator to run at steady load and be off at night
- + Includes wireless monitoring and phone app
Cons
- − Installation is a significant project requiring careful planning
- − Requires substantial copper wire, conduit, and electrical materials
- − Grounding design needs solid electrical code knowledge
- − Battery is very heavy and needs a hoist
- − Older conventional generators may not provide stable enough voltage for charging

Works in Both Batteryless and Battery Modes
This inverter performs as expected in both batteryless and battery setups. One unit runs batteryless in a new production build, though batteryless operation requires a grid connection: the grid powers the inverter, solar takes priority for the house, and the grid supplies the house at night while the inverter tops off from the grid when sunlight is insufficient. Another unit supports a 15kWh battery bank for an off-grid house, running a 24000 BTU heat pump overnight on battery and charging during the day with 6 kW of PV across 27 panels in three strings of nine at around 300VDC.
Pros
- + works as expected in batteryless and battery modes
- + supports true off-grid operation with battery
- + solar priority powers the house
Cons
- − batteryless mode requires a grid connection
