Compare your energy and continuous-power target for load shedding; check startup and connections separately.
The 1000 W surge figure has no duration, so startup suitability is unconfirmed. The South African table does not give the AC outlet count. The 30 ms switch-over is slower than a 10 ms UPS; test it with the equipment you want to protect.

A fridge cycles on and off. Actual runtime can differ from these continuous-use examples.
Pure sine wave, 230 V ~ 50/60 Hz, 500 W total (surge 1000 W, no duration). Outlet count not stated in the table; the page says the unit has South African standard plugs.

Questions about this model
How much energy does the RIVER 2 Max store?
The manufacturer lists 512 Wh. Conversion loss and a reserve reduce the energy available to your devices.
How much power can it deliver?
Normal continuous output is 500 W. A short surge figure does not prove that every motor or appliance can start.
Which solar panel can I use?
220 W solar ceiling; 11–50 V, 13 A according to the South African table. The connector and exact cable path are not verified here; no panel compatibility is inferred.
