Hey everyone! I'm diving into solar power for the first time, mainly to run my water pump. I'm thinking a 3kW inverter should do the trick. I've heard about the EASUN inverter, but the reviews seem mixed—some love it, others not so much. Any recommendations from your experiences? What inverters are you guys using?

When it comes to solar inverters, sticking with reputable brands like Victron, Solark, Growatt, and EG4 is usually a safe bet. These companies have solid track records for reliable equipment. On the flip side, there are a lot of generic Chinese brands that pop up but can be very hit or miss. Some might work fine for years, while others could fail immediately. If you're just experimenting, getting a cheap unit could work; just know you might be rolling the dice on reliability. Remember, many of these well-known brands might not even manufacture their own products—they often just rebrand generic units.
I get what you're saying! I want to be cautious too, so I'm definitely leaning towards a brand with a good reputation. EASUN does have some branding, but you're right—it's probably just another generic option. The prices for known brands are much higher, though!
