I am in the process of setting up my basic solar system and I am in the market for a 48V DC to 120/240V inverter charger for under $1000. I need to be able to run my water well (240v) in the event of loss of power. At first it will be a non grid tied system but eventually may want to grid tie as we build it up and add more batteries and panels. To begin with, this system will use four 300 watt panels and eight 6volt batteries. I already have the panels, a Midnight Kidd charge controller and about 100 ft of AWG2 copper wire. From what I have gathered this system as it is will be operating at about half it's capability so we plan to add 8 more batteries and 4 more panels in the near future.
Can anyone recommend an inverter/charger for under $1000 ? Maybe one that could switch automatically to grid if need be down the road?
