Hi Tony, Yep the multiple redundancy setup it best as far as I am concerned.
No Grid here, I do have a generator but have not started it for over a year now.
I really only use it for heavy welding jobs. Small welding the inverter runs my MIG welder fine.
I have two separate systems, on large system (5kw panels, 660 amp hour batteries), for the house ( tiny house really) and one for a separate cabin.( 600 watts of panels 100 amp hour batteries.
Four inverters in all. One latronics 2.3kw, three 8010 based 2 and 3 kw units. That is the downrated real watts not Chinese watts.
I also have a gas soldering iron. and if all else fails well back to candles.
Your modular inverter sounds great.
Undoing lots of connections to get a board out to repair it can be painful.
I try to leave lots of room in my inverter boxes but still they can end up pretty tight once all the heavy cables are in.
Fortunately no air conditioner needed. We only ever get a couple of days a year near 30 degrees. The rest is low 20s in summer and around 0 to 10 in winter.
Perfect climate for me.
Cheers
Pete
