Hi to all DR1's bloggers, been .
first Time posting for me but read a bunch of topics and found it really interesting and honest.
im looping to buy 4 x 120v 3.6kw inverters and a bank of 32 batterys. I find a bit tough to make my mind through this jungle. Would really appr?ciate your suggestions about where to find a supplier that could provide me with good quality/price material.
im in Rio San Juan and dont mind having to do the transportation through main hubs: santo domingo, Santiago ,Puerto Plata ...

anks a lot

I gotta hear this!

This does at first glance looks like an impractical solution if all four inverters are going to be used with 32 batteries.

I suggest speaking with Inverluz in Moca, they also have a store in Puerto Plata called Megatone. They sell decently quality inverters with similar controls to the old DR Series of Trace ( Now Xantrex) Inverters. If you want higher end product, then go with Xantrex.

If you are going to provide "Inversores y Baterias" for her family, I pray for you!
Other than that I see little use for 4 separate systems.
Care to enlighten us?

16 years ago I bought a TRACE, with 12 batteries. I still have the same TRACE, I only need 4 batteries now, as the "power" is better now.
I do have a 20 kilo Detroit Diesel generator when needed.

Four separate systems with 8 batteries each makes sense. In Santo Domingo I am sure there are a number of places including "TRACE" stores that sell inverters. Keep in mind that TRACE no longer exists and they never made batteries, but TRACE stores in the DR exist and have batteries made by TRACE - go figure.

I have only dealt with vendors on the North Coast.

I prefer to purchase batteries from LH Associates. (Luis Hernandez), because they are a major battery importer and can provide you with fresh batteries all from the same production run.
