Will this inverter work if you a smart meter from your power company?

The meter will not "spin backwards" unless the power co programs it do so. So until you officially inform them that you have an actual 3kw installation on your roof, the best that will happen is that power you consume during the daytime would be offset by the 600w inverter. Some states regulate an option to have the analog meter by opting out of the smart meter for health concerns. I have to pay $15 an month extra for that privilege, which cancels out any savings during the winter.

I don't think so. The wattage for those items is too high for this inverter. Plus, the breaker fuse in your car, if that is where you were going to plug in, is way too light for bathroom appliances. I'm no electrician, so anyone who knows better, please correct me :->

No. It would be possible but not what they were designed for. They only work on the type of system where the meter can run backwards, not systems with battery backup. If the grid power turns off, so do they.

Yes, I use that size panel too, inverter works good. Any panel voltage should not exceed 60 volts, watts should be well under 600 watts, so no more than 2 of those panels

I just found this email on March 30,sorry.Yes it would,the unit would supply power to what ever source you have it connected to,once triggered.

Mitch: It's not an inverter-quality "clean." Plug all your sensitive electronics into an APC/UPC battery-backup-surge-protector and you'll be good to go. Or go through a transfer switch to your building's main circuit panel. H--da has "clean" ones... ahem.... half-the-power and THREE-TIMES the price... Your choice, but these are good units. Good Luck!

It shouldn't cause problems. The inverter would only see the voltage from the charger not the current.

It can be hooked up if you have grid power other then the panels themselves. It will defeat the purpose if you are plugging it into your power inverter because that is pulling power from your batteries where the Battery Tender is trying to put a trickle charge back into them.

Yes just find out how much amps and watts it uses and buy a inverter that's enough for it.

The inverter will work if the refrigerator draws less than 500 watts, but the refrigerator won't, because it needs 60 hertz, not 50 hertz as in the UK.

As Long as you got a battery bank , I say give it a shot, because the inverter will trip if it cant manage the load and all you have to do is re-set

No. This inverter is designed for portable use, RV, boat, etc. It will short it out, and burn it up if you try it. You need to buy one that is made to be hard wired, (very expensive), or just run an extension cord from the Samlex to the lights, appliances, etc.that you need to run. I know it's inconvient, but better than sitting in a dark house!

A small inverter may do the trick but be sure that you have a return option if there is a problem. Most inverters produce square wave A/C (not sine wave) and may not work with some electronic devices. A 100 Watt unit may do but 200 Watts is better. Plan on spending $20 to $40 for one. Another option is a portable power supply with a built-in inverter (the kind with jumper cables).

If you have an inverter it will work just fine. I have a 250W inverter and works well.

Yes, it will work flawlessly without problem, as long as your device does not consume more watt than transformer supports.

If you have some kind of converter I would think it would work. As long as the converter doesn't burn up or something. Because the system is always on.
