I would think of an alternative bracket solution rather than loose the inverter.

That has now been rectified as I'd noticed some of these units are now going for under £200 on fleebay. :xx:
The problem I see with these is that they're all missing the wall brackets. There's one that's fairly local to me going for a song. I messaged the seller asking if it has the bracket but it got lost in a house move. By the time a new bracket has been made it's no longer a great deal.
Flat steel strip 300mm long, 30mm wide and 3mm thick can be had from Ebay at £6 including delivery.

Cut it in half so you have two strips 150mm long, one for each side of the inverter.

Bend the top of each strip 20mm from the end to 60 degrees.

Drill a couple of holes in each strip so they can be screwed to a wall, fix each strips to the wall vertically, 300mm apart and your done.
