Safety-First Design
Every appliance lookup includes surge wattage — the brief power spike when motors start (refrigerator compressors, AC units, pumps). The inverter is sized to handle peak surge load with a 25% safety margin. An undersized inverter will trip when loads start. SolarForge prevents this by design.
