[RE-wrenches] Reliable Cheap Modsine Inverter

[maverick at mavericksolar.com]

How about the Exeltech XP125?

We have used a few of those and of course many of the Morningstar units.


Thank you,

Maverick

I'm planning on oversizing it substantially, I figure I would start with something at at least 400 w cont rating, just to make sure.  I had an old no name 1500 w inverter on our work truck that we took in on trade, and it actually ran a circular saw.  We tried to burn it out and never did.
