inverter

    I'm looking at getting a pure sine wave inverter but looking for recommendations first.

    Hi, first off I'm not technical at all but am trying to find a way to power my husband's CPAP machine (for sleep apnea), and 2 standing fans. As far as I know CPAP machines require pure sine wave and fans respond better to this as well. So I'm looking at getting this: Axpert Type Pure Sine...

    Axpert inverters any good?

    Hi All, Are the Axpert inverters any good? It seems they are a Chinese rebrand by Rectron so it hard to find any reviews of them. I like how they integrate grid tie solar as well as battery backup options. My concern is that they will burn out in 4-5 years and it would have make more sense...
