inverters, batteries , solar & all the good stuff

[taken]

I'm not worried about my solar. Just mentioning I have it. My 6v bank will run the inverter pretty well and Onan 5500 will back it up when low... Good to know on Cotek making both lines. Go Power doesn't have a hardwire with built in transfer switch. Will have to compare pricing between the all in one vs. the two. Thanks for the info...

Both of the Go Power switches I used buzzed constantly and would not switch. Check the reviews on Amazon.

Thanks for the heads up! Will do...

This is the system I'm installing. Only need to add 1 more solar panel and the batteries. So far I please with the results. I now leave my fridge on while in storage so I have cold beer when I go to check on it.
