Well, the system is already in place and has been for a few years. I've already got the inverter, in other words. Seems like, unless it's likely to do bad things, it's better to spend no money on a less-than-perfect but still-usable solution, than to spend more money to get a better version of something I already have that'll work. So...is it a matter of this not being the ideal way to design the system if starting from scratch, or of this being something that's workable at all? Or...are "regular" inverters so inexpensive relative to the total battery system cost that I'm being silly for not considering one as part of the cost of the system...? b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
