    I've also had problems with GTI's not just PJ's. In my view any system must have extra protection built around it; plan your system carfully don't just throw it together. The PJ's suffer from having to much power to deal with; I run mine at 50% max rating and they are fine. The main thing to reme...

    Hi Craig, In the UK our national power grid supplies domestic power at 240volts 50hz, I bought the inverters to match the supply. These type of inverters are designed to connect directly to the mains power from solar or wind, they don't have a low battery alarm.

Thanks for your comments. The solar energy in my (GRID TIED) system feeds straight to the mains supply: to supplement the power being supplied to my property, my meter will slow down and even stop. I also have a battery storage system for excess energy storage.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I also tried a high voltage GTI,(Windsave 1000W 300V) it worked well on good sunny days; but struggled on other days, I put this down to the fact that my panels are not all oriented in the same direction, some are flatter than others and some have shadows at certain ...

    @BigBearHuskyMusher. I've never weighed my inverters, but my main criteria is the power handling of the units, these Power Jacks are rated at a maximum power of 600W so I don't stress them and run at around half this full rating. if it's of any use to you; my units measure 10" long, 5" wide and...

Thanks for your concerns, these inverters have got a poor history I’ve also had them blow output FETs, when I first worked with them (back in 2009) I also had concerns with the build quality, this is why when I’ve purchased new ones I’ve opened them up and put right any issues and put extra prote...

    When I first looked at Power Jack inverters I charted the output power, with the DC input from 8 x 80W panels the power out peaked near 500W but only for short periods the majority of the time the output settled around 300W especially when warm.

    The mains power cable has little influence on the i...
