[b]The present economic reality has no doubt warranted extra cut in my spending pattern.
Recently, I had to install an inverter to save me the cost of buying petrol on a weekly basis at the rate of N liters. Though, the cost of the initial installation was a bit on the high side, but the long time benefit is what I stand to enjoy[/b]
You are wise to setup an inverter system. The site admin has a comprehensive tutorial on how to set it up

Maybe you should share your own experience, and how much it cost in total.
I believe that if one considers the cost of a generator, and the cost of petrol, an inverter system is actually cheaper.
