Is it possible to run an inverter off a panel without a battery? The purpose
would be to greatly extend the permissible length between the panels and the
battery bank, by using a battery charger at the other end.
I'm concerned about the possibility of inductive kickback from the inverter,
when turning of/on, that would normally be absorbed by the capacitance of
the battery.
It seems to me that spikes of both polarities must be considered, so it's
not simply a question of the reverse breakdown voltage of the panel.
It's not enough to know that while running, an inverter produces no
kickback. The possibility of accidental disconnection or turnoff is always
there.
One could put a car stereo capacitor across the panels, and it might help
starting the inverter, but I'd like to know if this is of any real concern.
