Works great and saves $12,800

Just got this 1500w inverter last week but did some testing with it. I am using a 2016 Toyota Corolla LE with an alternator rated at over 100 amps. It supplies power to the inverter during operation. I opted for 1500 watts because the alternator only emits about 1200 watts (1200 watts = 100A x 12V). I added a 3ft x 8ft stainless steel flexible pipe to the car exhaust and connected it with zip ties through the aluminum garage door to the vent. It would be difficult to leave the car outside as the inverter is too big to close the hood. and it could be stolen, plus it would be because of the weather etc. I also added a carbon monoxide detector in the garage for safety (120v with a backup battery). With a full tank, this installation should be idle at least a day, although we don't have to run it all the time. My other car is an Azera V6 with dual exhaust, it's too big and complicated for this setup (it does have a 150A alternator though). fan) to a single outlet on the inverter. [I made a heavy-duty (16g) extension cord from the oven (plug on one end and connected to a romex in the oven's junction box) and converted the existing 120V AC switch to an outlet (single) for the oven. I plug the furnace extension cord (daddy) into the h-socket I just made for house power OR plug it into the inverter in the garage for car power.] There is no way to transfer power from the inverter to the grid at home, since this is either one or installation. The stove is powered either from the mains (household) or from an inverter (car). This setting won't help with the air conditioning in the summer, but it will start the stove in cold weather. I also connected a large fridge (newer LG) to a different outlet on the inverter (12G extension). I then hooked up another 12G extension along with a 4 socket extension with 3 monitors, 2 computers, a T-Mobile internet gateway (5G-320Mbps), a printer and 3 LED lights with a bunch of lightbulbs. Works fine when all 3 outlets are plugged in and working. I haven't had an emergency yet to test it out for an extended period of time (hopefully I won't need it), but that's what the backup power is for anyway. I wanted to install a 24kW Generac to power an entire house ($13,000+), but the HOA wasn't happy with where I wanted to put it, so I only have about $12,800 saved up. a storage room (with a 7.5kW Generac diesel generator) that we could use in the event of a very long and severe power outage. This is now our long term backup. However, most of our outages last a day or less. This inverter (1500 watts) works great for what I need it for, shorter outages.
