    Reourpose Electric Vehicle Inverter

    I just bought a Honda civic inverter pulled out of a
    hybrid for $50 in hopes that I could use it for my home solar setup. Just thought I wwoul experimexp with it and see if it was possible.

    Any insights or suggestions wouldw be great thank you

    where are you located?
    I think that is more of a motor controller than an inverter and it is expecting 200+ volts DC input.

      I live in Anaheim California. Okay that would make sense. I haven't been able to find anyone that has tried this but maybe that's just because it doesn't work.

      Ill probably try to tinker with it andaseeand what I can do.
