Hi Jeff, Check out Exeltech's XP series. They offer this inverter in a wide range of power and it has a very clean output/sine wave. They have an ICX/MCX model (not sure if it's available yet) that is also a charger. Daryl DeJoy NABCEP Certified PV installer Penobscot Solar Design > Any reco

For me, the only one that fills that bill is the US made Magnum MMS inverter. http://www.magnumenergy.com/Products/MMSseries.htm If you don't want a built in TX and charger, we have had good success with the imported Samlex SA series made by Cotek. Available in 12 or 24 volt. http://samlexsolar.

Jeff; I have experience with the MMS series from Magnum. Nice little inverter/chargers, low standby losses, but not available in 24v. I chose them for some remote installations because of small size and price point. We had trouble with an earlier model that failed when a generator ran out of gas,

Any recommendations from those of you with extensive off grid experience for a small inverter, sine wave, 500-1000 watt range 120 vac output, 12 or 24 VDC nominal input? I'm looking for something with low standby losses when there are no loads, and high reliability. Thanks! Jeff Irish, PE Pre
