Hello Folks, thanks for the answers to my other post.
I was speaking to the owner of a inverter company yesterday who said that she can make me a special inverter of 1.5 KW 24-volts with the best possible parts and give me 2 years of full guarantee with it for RD $ 13,000.
I spoke with Trace, and they give 1.5 KW 12-volts inverter with 3 months of full guarantee, and 2 years in parts and services, for RD $ 12,500 (in cash) - model DR1512. The DR1524 (24-volts) costs nearly RD $ 30,000 .
The inverter is going to be used with 4 Trojan Red Batteries that I am yet to buy.
Trace is the same as Xantrex. (I called up Xantrex and verified that).
I am kinda low on cash and cannot afford a big system right now. Is it advisable to go with the generic brand inverter company? or should I go the Trace way?
I have read all the forums and recently there was a discussion about the generic brand vs. Trace.
The question really is... is it dis-advantageous to have a 12 volt 1.5 KW Trace inverter? as opposed to a 24-volt generic brand (supposedly made with superior parts?) and run wwith 4 batteries?
Any clues from the gurus would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Haunting
