While shopping online for a small (300w) true sine inverter, I saw a lot of places had Solar Sine Wave Inverters. Are those models powered by Solar panels instead of the RV batteries or is there something else to it that I'm not seeing in the printed info on them?

You'll have to link to one. I have no idea what that is, unless it's a sales gimmick.

Yes there are packages of panels, batteries, inverters that are put together for convenience. Most come at a premium price and not always the usefulness you want.I have and recommend GoPower 300w SW inverter. Very low idle draw and a provision for a remote power switch.Solar and battery is separate.

Zamp Solar sells PSW inverters billed as "solar" only because that's the business they're in.Lowes is blowing out all their Zamp gear. I bought an 800W PSW for $79, and a 1kw for $129. You gotta look for them cuz they might be on the upper shelves

thanks for that tipmight go check it out, find me a spare
