What drove you to choose your inverter?

[Weable Technology]

There’s a lot of factors that are important when buying an inverter
- Did you do research about the product?
- Was your decision influenced by an expert or a recommendation by a friend?
- Are you satisfied with your purchase?
- Would you have chosen differently?

Noise issues.. my wife does not like the noise.
However with Stage 4 batteries don't get enough time to charge.
We're getting the generator...

I wasn't driven to get standby power. I had no choice, I had to earn an income.
Check your choice of words next time, its kind of irritating

My wife sent me the invoice for the order she had just placed Admittedly, she had spoken to her father, uncle, cousin and a few others who are all electrical engineers involved in medium to heavy current electrical engineering. I would have gone for a larger inverter, 5kVa at least versus the 3kVa she bought, and I would have tried to stretch the budget for LFP batteries instead of the LA's she bought.

Do you know of a quiet pure sine wave inverter? If so, please recommend! I am also facing the angry spouse who wants quiet.

Inverter was relocated to the lounge, and a 15+ metre cable between it and the load

I think it might be Goodwe and Victron that have some fanless design options.

At the time... December 2018, due to LS and panic buying there was NO STOCK.
So I built my own inverter, cost me around R4k
