24/48V DC to 120/240V AC inverter?
I'm toying with the idea of getting an electric car. However, electricity in Ontario is so expensive I suspect electric is more expensive than gasoline. All the talk of solar and inverters in this ...

Is the goal to power the car or the entire house from the Sun?
Power the car, sure, power the house, did you win the lotto? If so, what's the problem?
$30,000 to 50,000 for a solar system will buy a lot of gasoline! Ontario isn't the deserts of California, Nevada or Arizona... I imagine the weather is quite similar to that of Michigan, and Michigan is not a solar friendly state. The government / NASA has researched and confirmed this - we just don't get enough sun. Somewhere there's a map from NASA or maybe NOAA that shows the line cutting through North America, showing where solar makes sense and where it doesn't. I know the line is well south of Michigan.
Solar works for an RV because nine out of ten times the occupant(s) seek "fair weather". They're not living off their solar system in Northern North America in the deep of winter where you get six hours of sun every ten to fourteen days. Campers have the ability to track the sun, when it gets cold and dark, the move south where's not cold and dark :)
