I have a 24v home power storage bank comprising 6 x 12v 100ah Leisure batteries pairs connected in series and then each pair in parallel to give me around 2.5-3kw. These are purely as overflow to my. main solar system to limit the amount I export to the grid. Once my main grid tied batteries are flat I then manual switch over to these using this unit. It provides 600w for around 30mins and then settles down to around 550 for 1-2 hours slowly degrading as the batteries flatten. It is almost linear. Obviously you must make sure not to allow the Lead Acids to drop below 50% but which this does NOT seem capable of doing. You don’t have to use batteries you can just plug your solar panels directly in if you have off grid panels.
I bought this to replace a smaller unit which failed spectacularly when I used my electric drill near it. I have put a full spec mains filter and a VDR spike killer in between this one and the mains, and put a 1A quick blow fuse into the 13A plug (my solar panel is only 200W, so 1A is enough for me, you’d need 3A for full power).
I’ve used the drill again without any problems.
Sadly this suddenly failed after three weeks. Couldn’t contact the dealers so returned to Amazon for a refund.
Had this installed for five week and so far so good. I was anxious about a few reviews, but the one I got works well. I’ve got nominal 300W panel hooked up, and so far I’ve seen 250W heading into my grid on sunny days. Seems to work well in cloudy conditions.
This is my third one and will buying more I am very happy with this item easy to use plug in and go accurate to discription would recommend to anyone doing small project’s
