So here's the scoop..
(Im based in the US)
I can purchase a 3000w inverter that outputs 120v for about $800
I can also purchase a 5000w inverter that outputs 240v single phase for about $800
240v to 120v 10,000w transformer = ~$200
Let's say I purchase the 5000w inverter.
I'll connect the inverter to grid via split phase 240v
I'll connect the 240v single phase output of the inverter to a 240v-120v transformer
Will I have a total of 10,000w of 120VAC power, because I stepped the voltage down? (with a transformer that can handle that much, of course)
(Obviously, this is before factoring in inefficiency and whatnot to the equation)
Is this as good as it seems in my head, or is there something fundamentally wrong that I'm missing entirely?
Thanks for your help!!
