Hi Paul,
I've seen inverters that run anywhere from 75% (poor) to 95% efficient, 
but as long as you stay under your solar budget, it doesn't matter. 
Sunlight is free. Where it becomes a problem is when you don't have 
enough batteries to last for a cloudy day. Then, they could confiscate 
someone's Prius (I'm sure there are plenty of those around) and steal 
their batteries....;-)
