The 1000 watt inverter is installed. I didn't hard wire the A/C side permanently but it's done for now. At some point I'll put in some dedicated outlets or wire it into the A/C system. Our current A/C system is configured in a somewhat strange way so that would have to be redone before I could integrate the inverter. I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze, pun intended.. As it is, everything seems to work fine and with the installation and we will be able to operate the ice maker and charge our computers while underway. Like everything else the install was more work and costly than I thought.
I'm attaching photos of the inverter in the engine room and the remote panel installed near all our other panels. The photo shows the new generator panel, the new transfer switch panel for the generator, a fire system activation switch and the inverter panel on the lower right. The locations are probably not the most convenient but there was just no place else to put the stuff.
The existing A/C and D/C breakers are inside the door above
And yes, the sound absorbing panels do need a coat of paint but that's for another day.
CLEAN EH!
