Am I right in understanding that an inverter costs between $800 and $3500?
The same Outback 3500 watt inverter ranges from $1700US to over $3000US, depending on the vendor and if it's pre-wired or not.
I had the opportunity to use Outback equipment in the mountains, and it is as good, or better than the Trace equipment I used back in the late 90s. I wouldn't buy Trace today, but I would buy Outback. Just my .02. I don't sell either. I simply appreciate smart engineering.

Shouldn’t be that much unless your looking for pure sine and high efficiency. Harbor freight has the size I’m referring to for $50-$70.
