[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1402729, member: 3162"] I read "small scale". Only to be used for an incubator during a power outage. My charger sets there at the barn day in and day out. I might use the inverter once or twice a month. I happen to have deep cycle batteries on the dump trailer, on the spray rig and on the trolling motor. If we go to a gathering the inverter will run both large and small ice cream makers right in the back of the truck plus box fans. Not sure how many watts the ice cream makers pull. Not even sure of the box fan. Collectively I am assuming the incubator would pull less but I also don't know if his ambient temp is 20 degrees or 60. So I am indeed assuming. If he has two power outages a month, I think he'd be okay. Certainly I am not an expert. But I do have the units and I do use them without issues. Solar hot water is of interest to me. I go home, turn on the water hose, and the stagnant water in the hose is extremely hot. That's my limit. Would like to capture that energy in the hot water tank. [/QUOTE]
