I know the old saying, you get what you pay for. Often that's true but sometimes it isn't. Sometimes all you get for your extra money is a name.
I'm brand new to all this stuff, so have mercy. I went looking for off-grid kits and found several featuring a Magnum MS4448PAE 4400 W 48 VDC pure sine wave inverter at a cost of around $2200. I've found a number of vendors selling seemingly equivalent inverters (same specs, at least) for $500-700, such as this one...
Would a cheapo inverter like this work for those of us who must cut every conceivable corner to build something on a shoestring budget? Heck, I could buy two of them and just keep one as a standby and still save $1000.
What am I missing here?
