I have been assigned to choose an inverter for my project, but I know nothing about inverters. What is the best brand? How should I choose? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thx for the reply! we are making a house for the solar decathalon. we are all frshmen and are winging it. the house needs to run completely on solar energy and needs to be completly self sustainable off the grid. the more efficient the better of course
making solar colectors for hot water production is a hobby of me if you need some info please ask can help you with a few tips how to build

I work in the plumbing industry and what we see lately more and more heat pumps
that is equipment that are souly designed to get the maximum efficiency to heat up water as a heat source the use also water
you can compare it with a aircon but much more efficient the units we install are from the company stiebel eltron
it's a german company and they are the top in their field try google it
it might be an option for your house

What input/output voltage do you require?
Don't forget that the lower the input voltage the higher the current.
I recommend you use a higher input voltage as you can, 12V is too low, 48V is a good idea because it's a good compromise between safety and power transmission.
23.5kW sounds a lot for a house and is far too much for a solar powered installation.
Hang on a second, do you mean 23.5kW/h per day?
That's an average of 980W which sounds more reasonable but is still too high for solar power. You need to cut down on your energy usage.
Replace all of your incandescent lamps with compact fluorescents, don't leave devices on standby and consider switching to gas, wood or coal for heating and cooking.
