    Is it safe to connect a large inverter to the 12V battery?

    Nice find - and from the article: "In a complex moment, if you really wanted electricity, you could do some creative wiring to trick your inverter into thinking the grid was up, or you can buy simpler/small solar systems and literally plug them into an outlet. If this feature is added to the...

    Is it safe to connect a large inverter to the 12V battery?

    Boiling this all down, it appears that it is possible to run a large inverter directly off the 12V battery and it will be replenished by the high voltage battery. With that, how is this for a situation: Home with solar panels that are grid tied Grid goes down Hook pure sine inverter to 12V...
