Inexpensive standby electric system


Inexpensive standby and portable power for your Baja place! Have up to 2500 watts of 120 volt AC power just like your house electric power for the times when the grid is down. It ran our house for two and a half days, including keeping the refrigerator and freezer cold, a while back, when the grid was down for that period. When the grid is back, just charge up the batteries again -- no generator maintenance or stored gas to go stale. Or, add panels and a charge controller for a complete solar system. And yes, it will run a full size microwave! It is great to take camping, too!

Pretty tricky. Did you put this together or is it a store bought unit?

Just bought what I needed. I was a marine electronics tech many moons ago. Works great!
