The inverter works!

I was apprehensive about the energy draw of the (no-name Chinese cheap modified sine wave) inverter I bought. With fully charged batteries, I turned it on, tuned the TV to NBC and watched the opening ceremonies last night. I was very pleased with the results. The combination was very kind to my batteries. Now, it remains to be seen what the reliability of the inverter will be.

Plenty of sun here, and temperatures in the 70's expected for the near future. I can use some sunshine for a change.
