Hi James,
Yes the inverter is the big cost. But the price is coming down every year
and efficiency up = around 95%. I´m also using AC 230V to the induction
cooker and also the fridge = standard house equipment = nice prices (IKEA)
together with a gas cooker as backup. The engines are 2,2kW each = roughly
3 hp each. Backup if the sun failes and the distance home is to long =
Honda EU20 generator.
I will keep You updated after some sea trials. (Will put some pics and
text on my website when I get some spare time.....)
