My two bits worth,
I have bought a Aims Global LF Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter, battery charger and AC auto transfer switch.
When AC power cuts off (or falls below an acceptable range) the transfer relay is de-energized and the load is automatically transferred to the inverter output. Once the AC is restored, the relay is energized and the load is automatically reconnected the AC utility.
It also charges the batteries from the PV panels or the AC utility if plugged in. The inverter has a 1500 watt capacity with a surge ability of up to 300% for 20 seconds, this should help with any 120v motors starting.
Sounds like a panacea, and I'm expecting it to work as described. I've coupled all of this with 4 120 watt solar panels and 2, 100 amp hour lithium ion batteries.
(These 2 lithium batteries are the equivalent of a 400 amp hr lead acid arrangement with no maintenance required)
Cost........mmmmmm $3,000 but if all goes well we will be able to boondock as long the sun shines and not have a generator.
