Since my original post I've upgraded my solar system to include 530 Watts of panels, 4 new 6V AGM (224AHr for 896 AHr total) and a new 30A solar controller. I will add a 3000W sine wave inverter. For back up I have a 4000W portable generator. My solar guy said when we add the inverter it will be whole house and we will eliminate the inverter dedicated to the fridge. One of the kind people who responded to my first post said he would leave the dedicated inverter as a backup to use as a substitute for a propane backup. Sounds good to me but I don't know if that can be done. I don't really want to trash an operable piece of equipment.
