Small backup PSW inverter, opinions?
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 plenty of no-name brands, but I'm looking to do this install once, hopefully, so a name brand is important.
Preferably a unit that doesn't have the 120VAC outlets on the inverter itself, but allows them to be wired elsewhere, so the backup inverter can be mounted near the batteries, saving on wire length and thickness. If possible, maybe a remote switch panel so the inverter can be turned off at one spot.
This would be a 500 watt inverter with its own receptacle, normally off, but switched on if there is a need for it (don't want to run the main inverter and its fairly large overhead just to charge a smartphone.)
