RE: Question
Each stage has a 10% to 20% loss of efficiency, so going from Solar straight to the PPS will make it tons more effective! Many DC Converters are in excess of 95% efficient, as compared to a cheap inverter being "up to" 87% efficient. Staying DC all the way is a definite PLUS.
it doesn't have a DC input.
Darn, too bad! ;)
dewalt 1kw inverter
I wanna stick with dewalt...just because.
Makes perfect sense! They should use the same de-rating specs across the entire line, meaning that 1000w with the inverter would surely power like 3 of the PPS in charge mode. But you would need like #4 AWG copper wire to connect to your vehicle's alternator :D
the 'vehicle' is a boat.
I'm remodeling an old houseboat.
I know its unlikely, but damn do I hope we get to see that thing.
I nibble at it a few hours a week.
when I'm not working on it, or sleeping, I'm making steem.
gotta pay for it somehow.
