maybe this will be an easier way of finding out the information I need. We are installing a 5000w true or pure sine wave inverter using 870ah batteries(12v). We are using 12v batteries because I was given them for free and they are deep cell batteries and are new. will also be installing 790w solar panels. we are trying to find out if this is enough power for the unit and would like to verify the manner we are installing them. I need to know how many amps the present converter is, if I can change out the transfer switch to a 3 way( I have this also), and if I use an inline transfer relay between the inverter and converter will this work correctly.( so the unit does not try and charge the batteries while the inverter is in use) since I never attempted this before I am sure I have most of this wrong. ideas would be helpful.
