Is there a Charger/inverter/distribution combo?

[rex_1_mn]

So I have been looking at charger/distribution panels and am wondering if there are any that also incorperate an inverter?

Just seems like it would be cost effective and very clean to install a true all in one unit.


Thanks In Advance

I have not seen one, however if you build it we may steal from your design....

We are just adding in dedicated inverters as we need them. Makes it easier to replace when they crap out. I have one $20 750 watt inverter for my LP range electronics, vent for range, ALL my fluorescent lights (so we can use them with no shore power is available). I will probably add another one for the TV & DVD player (clean power... the batteries will filter the dirty generator/shore power or provide a couple hours of TV/movie watching when wanted). But that is just how we laid out our electrical system to suit our specific needs/wants. The big thing is to make sure you get a 3 stage smart charger.

I thought Trace made one for the solar people?

There are several Iota 3 stage chargers that will supply 50amps of 12v to charge and use...might be an option.
Also if you have the $$ several marine setups can supply the needs

My old Trace 2500 series inverter has a built-in 120 amp three stage charger and automatic transfer switch. A lot of other high-end inverters have a similar setup.

the answer is yes.
i dont know the manufacturer, but one of our friends who shut their electricity off for good, bought a kit that had the entire panel in one unit.
of course, i am talking about solar instillation...
