So for an inverter, I have been using an 8010 design using a PCB board designed by Awesome Tech on Youtube. They share the design, so I had 5 made. This uses sets of 6 TO-220 fets. It has worked fine these last few years, so I decided to just upgrade the FET's and send it.
The initial FET's I was using were IRFB4227PBF (120v, max .024 ohms). The best cost/performance device I could find a while ago was the Toshiba TK72E12N1 (120v, max .044 ohm). It looks like there are some other China company options available now, but I pulled the trigger about a year ago and bought the Toshiba ones.
One nice thing about 2oz copper boards, is they de-solder nicely. I revised the heat sinks too.
I modified Tinkers overcurrent/shutdown design slightly. It appears to work well, but I do have some more testing to do.
