Suggestions for using "wasted" solar power?
Looking for suggestions... How would you use ~150-250w of power for 8-10hrs per day so it's not just "wasted"? I've got multiple RVs (Class C) and they each have 500w of solar panels, and 200AH ...

Cheap 300 watt inverters likely have an output of modified sine wave. And that might not power a fan. Not sure, but I think cheap fans have pure inductance motors that won't work with modified sine waves.
A different application since we live in our RV full time. But I sometimes turn on the electric side of the water heater when we boondock and the solar has fully charged the batteries - just to use some of that "wasted" solar power. I have tried to think of ways to use excess solar energy and I have mostly come up blank.
BTW, I like the idea of plug in pest controls. Also, I don't know why you want to add a 2nd inverter - just turn your existing one on but turn off any high draw items.
