Load: how are you using your power?

I wanted to keep everything in native 12V from the batteries unless I have something specific that I need to power.

Most of the load will be running LED lights. Those are easy to find in 12VDC. I have several interior lights and porch lights up now. Need to add more outdoor lighting for security and to see if you are being stalked by a wild animal at night (yes, this happens).

Some of the load will be pumping water. I have several small 12V pumps for running the shower and whatnot. Need a larger one for the creek.

The 900W inverter is used, believe it or not, for watching TV. It gets dark quick and the nights are long at a high latitude. No TV antenna reception in a valley. So we have a small Western Digital box that hooks up to a HDD full of TV shows and movies that I brought out. Mostly Ray Mears survival shows. lol
