Is there anything else within the same price point and the same specs that I should be looking at?

My Father used to tell me:

"son, the oats are always cheaper after the horse."

That inverter looks like about the cheapest oats you can buy...

I would recommend some additional research before making your purchase decision.

Here is some good info regarding inverter and battery sizing: https://www.solarpaneltalk.com/forum...-size-tutorial

As far as brand goes, I have purchased four Xantrex inverter so far and they have served me well.

Good luck with your project.

That link Steve posted is awesome.


Have you checked out the AIMS inverters? They don't get much better ratings on Amazon, but it's at least another option.

I think bottom line is that, at this price point, some corners were cut to drop the price. If you're not looking to optimize your solar panel / battery output all the time, you can probably get away without those cut corners affecting you.
