Hi peterth,
The Sola Basic works beyond my wildest dreams. It boosts so fast when the air conditioner cuts in that the motor has hardly started to spin. Once the air is up to speed, the Sola stops boosting and one can hear the difference -- the motor clearly slows down a bit.
It does 3 layers of boost at 110, 100, and 90 volts. It does one level of buck at 135 volts.
In "real life" use, it rarely gets to the 2nd level of boost--but I have observed it occasionally doing so. I am anticipating using it during the hot months and it will be wonderful to be able to run the roof air and fridge both on 120 volt power.
The air conditioner is *much* happier with the Sola Basic in the circuit.
I have used it in winter time so that I get closer to the rated output wattage on electric heaters.
I have not observed it going into buck mode--and I think it is unlikely I'll see that unless I go to Mexico.
I will be doing some "back yard" experiments using the Sola Basic this spring and summer.
Thanks to Mexicowanderer I'll shortly have excellent surge suppression that I can add to the Sola on a plug and play basis.
Thank you for transporting the unit to me.
