electrical outlets not working on battery power

Hi rocelp,

Portable solar kits are about five times as expensive as fixed in place units.

Inverters should be installed as close to the battery bank as humanly possible but NOT in the same compartment. Use big fat wires on the DC side of the inverter.

I use mine this way:

1. unplug from shore power
2. unplug the converter
3. plug shore power cord into an outlet powered by the inverter
4. set the fridge for propane
5. turn on the inverter.
