Hiya, I don't know how low mine go, and it'll vary by inverter make and model (I assume), but I think I'm right in saying that they seem to operate down to levels quite a bit lower than the minimum that they need to start up. And with UK weather, especially at this end of the year, every last W and Wh helps.Spies said:What wattage do you typically see when the inverter cuts off?
