Quick question about inverter for a single or 2 panel setup with blending

[Asolar]

Hi,

I want to get a solar 400w solar panel to run some things which only require power during daylight only, except for about 2 hours in the morning before the sun comes up.

Which inverter could switch seamlessly to solar from the house electricity and possibly also compensate seemlessly for any missing power if it is cloudy.

Something under 10k.

Thanks

Plus if you get the growatt, you can add a lot more solar panels

I was looking at the growatt but when i watched a youtube video review, im sure the guy said you need more than one panel to get it running. So, now im thinking maybe just 12v

I doubt you will find a 12V inverter that blends, or even runs without battery.

You say you want to "run some things". What are they? I think you're asking the impossible here imho.
