Have my deep cycle battery on a two wheel dolly with a 1000w-110 inverter attached. That way I am not limited to 12v. I can disconnect it from the solar panel and roll it about the house as needed or plug into the fixture in the tool room and back feed the house through that plug. After pulling the main switch of course.
Also have an inverter wired under the hood/bonnet of the Jeep. Makes a nice mobile power source when run with duel batteries.
At one time I was living in an off grid cabin for two years. I would park by the lamp post at work that carried a 110v plug. I would charge the deep cycle all day while working and drive home and plug the house into the Jeep.
My Dodge has an on board inverter from the factory but it is only 100w. It is intended for a lap top or game but it works and electric blanket and a light bulb just fine.
