My ancient ARLEC heat gun (1.7kW / 2.4kW) causes no issues with the HV (no transformer) pure sine wave inverter. Don't know what it uses to select HI/LO pwr. The Solar HW controller in this tread is obviously DC in and out and in my case, setup as pulsed DC at all times to keep the loaded output around the MMP of the panels.
