Summary

3,000 W from 24 V, low rated efficiency

What it is: a 3,000 W pure sine wave inverter for 24 V banks, with three AC outlets, a USB port and a wired remote
The trade-off: compact and light, but a low efficiency rating and a high idle draw for its size
Not checked: Rich Solar publishes no surge duration
Look elsewhere for: automatic shore-power switching, hardwired AC or a search mode
