I bought two more expensive ones only last for two month's of live approx. The cheaper ones performed 100% better. I have 5 195W panels attached to 4 250W of this Grid tie Inv.I'll buy 4 more soon... Santiago

for me it lasted 2 days, i believe it was a manufacturers defect, so you may get a better one however...the failure was not my biggest issue, i had to wait 2 months to get a refund and had to pay the postage to send it back. literally was searching to take legal action but they compromised after i sent them a pic of the usps receipt, and got the post office to print me the receipt that proves that the company received it (they said they did not get the package) so in the end if it does fail expect a leanghty expensive return policy

I believe it is one year. We have had it for several years and had no issues. We have had surges with park electrical posts. The unit will shut off to protect your rig. It will then automatically reset after a few minutes. The power will come back on. We purchased this because our rig was hit with a surge that took out our onboard surge protector and converter. Would never plug in our rig without it. Even tho we have an onboard surge protector.

Not sure how long it will last but had mine over 2 years and still charged for 2 weeks worth or longer.

I installed this inverter in my travel trailer mounted more or less just above the axles. Last year we drove about 10,000 miles with the trailer including some dirt roads and the inverter is still working fine. So far we have no complaints. Stephan

I've been using mine for an off-grid house for a little over 2 years now with no problems. We're running normal loads (fridge, computers, internet, etc) all the time, and I've even run a big miter saw off of this inverter a few times with no problems.

I think he is asking if this is a grid tie inverter... its not... find a GRID TIE inverter for backfeeding power company's. this is for when you dont have power and you need to run a fridge or something with motors... or new electronic chargers.... not for lighting... not for heating... you can do those things with mod wave and save a buck.... if u need heat get propane... wood... or an ass load of batterys and a far better inverter...

i dont take it off my battery ,i run a 1200 watt inverter in a 3/4 inch box with a lid which has a cut out for out lets with a dome light cig lighter and alarm with toggle switch out side has a poly rope rated for 500 pounds rolled up handles on each end off box, i run a small compressor with a 90 led watt bulb plus my 32 inch led tv and a 300 watt heater and lap top.i dont run it all day its my er travel pack. i can run it for a week full charge on my 12 volt battery charge time may be a full week for a low battery, i use a marine battery and 150 amp fuse hook up just in case. the main thing is the solar panel facing direction and elevation direction . my plan is to go off grid in next few years.leave it hooked up and leave it alone.. this is all new to me but i must say what i done works for me, good luck out there ..i own a solar book and read that it dont pay to go 100 percent off grid at my age but if your young start now if thats your dream.

Sorry, have not had it run for that long. Longest the power has been out is an hour. It ran about a dozon times in that period with no problems.

It would be a guess on my part.... I just know I can run 30-35AMPs through it for like 5 to 6 hours and it held nicely while keeping my hydrogen fuel cell powered...

That is the issue. If you want really long endurance off the grid you need to consider inverters, charge controllers and deep cycle batteries. All these cost a bit more and occupy more space. I've used this APC unit for 3 years with my database server and it has worked flawlessly. It is big and heavy for a UPS, but it keeps up my sever for about 2 hours when new. Monitor is off and the other equipment is run from a separate UPS.

only if it fits a mr 16 base socket and you are running a 12 volt dc transformer for power. if so it should last for years to come.

There is a 5 year warranty on it, not as good as the Rosewill Fortress Series's 7 year warranty, but this power supply is (in my opinion) a lot more reliable and stable, not to mention cheaper. If there's any other questions please fill free to ask.

It lasts for years... Just keep the parts clean. You will need to buy chargers occasionally, but I really enjoy it...

Using it every day I get at least three or four weeks. Haven't really timed it but seems to last a long time. I keep a set of alkaline a handy for when it goes low because the charging cable is not handy to where we view tv.

I am not sure but I would not buy this inverter or any other inverter the make. I bought this item, it lasted less than two months. The cost of returning the unit was more than it was worth. The quality is junk. I had someone look at it and the soldered connections look like a 2 year old assembled this unit. The screws that were used to assemble it were half stripped and loose. Complete piece of JUNK!

No it's not. It still works but gets hot and only last a few months. It would be better if you get a converter.

I'm not sure as we gave it to my daughter to help cut down on her electic bill. She LOVES it! It is quiet, and it functions quite well. She was able to lower her utility bill by a considerable sum. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. I'm thinking that it was for one year, but I can't be positive.
