As a backup to a main inverter, what would be a decent secondary PSW inverter that would be directly connected to the house batteries? Am looking for some decent brand recommendations. There are ple...

Hi BFL13,
No, I'm speaking of the generator output which is 2800 VA. That is a lower number than 2800 watts. (at best about 2500 watts).
What I need most is more solar. It was most interesting to see the solar putting 15.3 volts into the battery bank when the temperature was 3 c (37.4 f). I've been plugged into shore power for a month and using minimal 12 volt power (parasitic loads and some led lights).
But, yes, if I have to ever replace this converter I'll go temperature compensated with a good power factor.
If I can boost up the solar, I'm thinking I'll get a programmable controller and set up two profiles--one for storage mode with 15.8 volts for the bulk charging and one for operating mode with a maximum of 15.4 volts.
