I totally agree. One thing I’ve noticed at my house with two Outback VFX3524’s
and a Kohler 12RES generator is when on inverter power the lights work fine but
when on generator power they flicker. I’ve had the generator tech check it out
multiple times with no fix.
Thanks,

Will,
Whole house surge protector? Please provide info on that: Make, model, how many
watts is it rated for, efficiency of unit and approximate price range?

I feel like the most damaging aspect of off grid power to household electronics
in my experience living off grid for 20 years isn’t the quality of the
inverters output (thinking of typical high grade inverters such as
Magnum/Outback/Schneider) but rather the transfer back and forth from
I have used Krinner ground screws, and combned them with Unirac. The
screws work well in many soil types, but for a large project you would
need an auger driver on a bobcat to ensure the screws go in completely
vertical (they tilt if you are not careful). Chris

I had a problem with one of the control boards on my front load dryer on my off
grid Outback system. Seems that some type of surge fried the board. It was
replaced and I added a whole house AC surge protector. I don’t know if the
surge protector worked but I haven’t had any problems since.
(Sorry to hijack the thread). This pulsing (if that is what you are
experiencing Will) has been true for the Outback as well as the old SW
forever, apparently depending on the generator/inverter combination. It
seems to happen the most when the batteries are being charged with high
amps. Never
I tried that coaching with an offgrid client & she installed a steam cleaning
washer, Oh Boy that went back to where it came from.

10+ now years on a Fisher Paykal top loader on Outback GTVFX, totally
problem free but not the greatest rinsing machine, if you fill it up too
much. It does do a good job of cleaning.
