Pros

This inverter charger works well. I switches without a noticeable glitch when the ac power goes off.



Cons

My gripe with renogy is not with their product. Mine is just an expensive boat anchor. Will never recommend, install, or look at their garbage products again.

Renogy's support expectation is that a brand new out of box unit purchased directly from them should be shipped back to them for testing. Once it was confirmed deem functional you'll have to shoulder the shipment of the inverter charger back to you. T...  Read More

Renogy inverter/charger is advertised as being able to pass through or bypass up to 30a. If you unplug the shoreline and because you had to turn the inverter on for the transfer switch, it senses a power loss and switches to battery power. When ready ...  Read More

Quality

Packaging/appearance


I had to go to the renogy web site and look at an instruction manual for another model to assure myself that my conclusions abo...  Read More

Competitiveness


The renogy 1000w inverter charger unit came undamaged, was packed very well and the associated hardware and temp sensor were in the box.


If you are not comfortable with zero tech support, do not buy from renogy!


Just wish it had a better remote panel.

    Installation instructions in the box were limited so downloaded owners manual from renogy support website

    The inverter charger will need to be mounted in an accessible location where the rocker switch can be used to turn it off
