[RE-wrenches] Reliable Cheap Modsine Inverter

[Ray Walters]

That looks great Eric; thanks for sharing.  For this particular market 
(under 1000 watt inverter) UL/ ETL listing is just not an issue.  As 
soon as we're going for a full on code compliant house system, complete 
with Finicky AHJ, we're looking at Magnum or Outback Inverters with 
Midnite E panels.
All my little stuff is stand alone, demonstrations, or mobile 
applications.  I've mated the Mini DC box from Midnite with Magnum's 600 
watt inverter  (pic attached) We still love to make it look good, and 
not have DC wiring running loose ala the early 90s or some Car stereo 
installer.
