Mr Wiz, inverters generate heat. Heat is bad, energy is wasted and inverter guts are struggling, just like you or me when it's too hot in the room. Closer to the limit - more heat.
Besides, manufacturers are crafty with fine print. Get 200W inverter for 200W load, it will croak after a week, then you read that it says "280W surge, 200W continuous up to 4 hours".
They have no solar. Running 5,000W generator all day for 200W electronics... There is something inherently wrong to this solution.
