Could this thing power a mid size house? I don´t mean a camper or anything, I´m asking if it could bea full replacement for the electricity.

No! My wife and I live in a small 1600 square foot home. We use all LED and CFL lightning and have just bought all energy efficient appliances. We have 2100 watts of solar (We can upgrade to 3100 watts on our system) and can supply 70 percent of our energy needs daily. We have 8 145 watt panels and 4 245 watt panels along with 5 kilowatts of pure sign inverters and 20 kilowatts of batteries. Hope this helps to answer your question.

Unfortunately not -- nowhere near that -- maybe a mid-sized doghouse (light and fan). Nothing against the GoPower system -- it's a high quality solar system -- but you must consider wattage. It puts out 320 watts max, while your hairdryer can consume 1500 watts. Together with proper (AGM) 12 volt storage batteries, this system can power a medium refrigerator 24/7, but any larger power draw will deplete batteries at night and, therefore, will only run during the day.

Yes it can however given the lack of power Im not sure that it would be up for the task!

Sure, there's a 12V outlet so if you have a separate inverter you could use it to create AC power. I have no idea how long it would last for any given application or exactly what maximum load it could handle. Since it's not designed for that, the manufacturer doesn't give provide any specs. But is it a substantial battery.

This doesn't produce enough current for that. Just not enough power. You'll need something larger.

i want to us this inverter for camping...to power up my small home heater or electric blanket..will this inverter work

Hi, most houses can handle the power. It doesn't cost very much to run it, if that is what you are concerned about. It just means that it's not cheaply made. Hope this helps.

It would be fine...since it's led, it doesn't draw much power...especially if it is running

No...and it needs a source of power so unless u gonna carry around a small generator it won't work as cool.... (I like that idea tho)

I don't see why not; keeping in mind, of course, that you get a larger power draw from an outlet, and a very small appliance like this one might overload more easily.

I have a two story house but this is not what determines whether or not this will power it.It is based upon amp- watt etc. In my house I have a 200 amp service- once connected to my house (use a qualified electrician---always) I was able to run the boiler, AC, Stove and fridge with misc lights on in the house. The point is to manage while you have no power and toggle if needed certain rooms. This works perfectly--even though it runs high, continuously- does the job!

It should have no problem if it draws less than 20 amps. I use my generator at times to run a similar unit and have power to spare on my camper. I think mine has a start up of 14 amps and settles in around 12 amps.

I am sure it can, I have been using mine continuously while I am building a house. It serves me power from the Power Pole to my camper and has been doing so since late April and no problems. I must say, it is a very good product and I would highly recommend it. What I do is where it connects to the other plug, I put a little cover over it to protect it from the elements.

depends on your house :)if 1000W are enough, yes (eg a holiday cottage)but major appliances like washer, stove etc need more, much moreFor a whole house application i would recommend a larger stationary converter with power factor correction

Be aware that this is not a generator it's a power source. This power source will run out of power if you don't recharge it.

It would be suitable to run small appliances or a fridge. Anything that doesn't use much power

With this wattage you could do a couple of appliances. Like you could keep a fridge and/or freezer going. But you definitely need a bigger unit if you are looking to hook to the house for backup power.

If it draws 4.5 amps at 12v, yes- it should do fine if the days are long. What I did was to make one out of a heat pump, regular camping cooler and insulation. It only cost about $50, compared to almost $500 for a commercial one.
