I have this http://www.amazon.com/Rival-4071-WN-3... and it says 1000watts, so that means I cannot use this inverter?

No you cannot use this inverter. This inverter is not to be used for anything intended to produce heat ie kettle. Do not use for anything above 200 watts

No, it is not, and this inverter will not put out more than 100 volts under the best of conditions, it is JUNK.

This inverter is a modified sine wave unit. I will tell you this: I live in a motorhome with a small 400 watt system and use the Pw2300 and my main solar system is 600 watts and I use the pw2300. In other words buy it, for the price and the usage you will get out of it it will pay you back 10 fold.. Also the wireless remote is better than false teeth works amazing.. Hope this helps..

The one we got was the 500 Watt inverter. We don't have information on the 900 Watt one. So sorry.

I use it with a 1600 watt inverter and it works great. Just that if you don't drive it very often, I would disconnect it.

NO it is not! We ordered this and when got here was not what we thought. Then company wanted us to spend $100 to ship it back. So we sold it here locally to someone off of craigslist. If you want an invertor...this is not one.

I don't see why not. Just make sure the total load is within the limits if your inverter.

Yes you can use a grid tie inverter it's the seme what's is matter it's the cain of inverter you use

Also, if you insist on using the 1000 watt inverter you may want to install a series of power allocation switches that will vary on/off power from selected pv panels. After all, you don't want to feed the grid with power.

Only it is certificated, but i buy a 1000w power supply and no have any problem

I only wish I knew.It just runs on a regular current....I do not know what an inverter is. I sure do like mine under my desk.

If you go on the xantrex website you will see the output listed on this 12 volt inverter as 1000 watts at 120 volt, 15 amps at 60 hertz. I am not sure why they did not list this but that is the output on this inverter. 220 volt are available, but to be sure, always go to the manufactures website and double check to avoid getting the wrong thing.

ive owned this inverter and it is 1000 watts in one plug dude must have been on crack that day of the video. Only down side to it this inverter will not handle very much surge it will go up to about 1200 surge and beep the hole time but 1000 output it will do and hold it.

this inverter is a under powered inverter. go with a aims inverter!! I picked up a pure sine wave aims inverter and have been loving it.

My powerland is a 10k watts.... My other gen was a 5500 .... I forget the name but it came from lowes.....

I have not tried loading the inverter at its full 600W, but have connected one intended for 12V panels (I think expecting 10 to 30 volts) to a 24 volt system battery... which ran it very fast and hot, but it complained and shut down when the voltage got too much for it, cooling off and ran again. Unless you do have cold and very sunny conditions, the peak loading is never for very long, and I have never had the full output from them. I'm surprised to see other reviewers with bad experiences. I would believe the protection circuits they use.

You need either that kit or an equivalent, as the inverter does not come with connection equipment. The kit includes the cables and a (very necessary for safety) fuse. If you are replacing an existing inverter and already have cables, then the kit would not be necessary (unless this is a much larger unit and your cables are not properly sized). for 12V 3000W you will need 0000 cable size.
