1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the solar inverter. This simple solar inverter is designed to power your home appliances or precious 3C electronics. It also can handle motor-type loads with high surge power such as vacuums, small freezers, or drills. With built-in solar charger, it can convert solar power to battery power and provide continuous power to connected equipment during night time.
2. Important Safety Warning (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS) Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, this manual and the batteries. Conventions used: WARNING! Warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury; CAUTION! Caution identify conditions or practices that could result in damaged to the unit or other equipment connected.
