Review on WZRELB 5000W Pure Sine Wave Solar Power Inverter - 24V 110V 120V 60Hz Power Converter with LED Display, Remote Controller, and Hardwire Terminal by Ryan Arthur

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This manufacturer has a bad reputation and an unsafe product

Less than 18 months after purchasing this inverter it caused a short circuit on the 24V Entry. This basically "shorted out" my deep cycle battery. Luckily I built my system with two fuses on the 24V positive line that goes from the battery to the inverter. The built-in 125A fast acting fuse has blown. The battery fuse was intact. I didn't use the inverter other than recommended and it ran well below the 3000w limit. When I opened the lid, none of the internal fuses blew, but I did. See some poor quality work in the way the components were either misaligned or soldered crooked. I originally bought this inverter because it was about half the price of a comparable competitor's inverter and it came with a 12 month warranty. However, the cost of buying a new inverter and the associated safety issues are not worth the risk. I also did some additional research and this company's inexpensive inverters have higher than normal failure rates. You might get lucky and it might last 5 years or more, but a shorted battery is a serious fire hazard.

Pros
  • 5000W Continuous 10000W Peak Pure Sine Wave Solar Inverter Plus Grid Power Backup for Home Power Supply
Cons
  • Interval
