I did initially suspect the inverter, but I have two of them and they both behave the same way, not to mention that just one of them can run a full size fridge, TV, DVD, lights, and everything else in the house with no problem. When the pump kicks on under normal use it does cause the lights in the house to flicker.
Fridge compressor is usually something like 0.125 HP.
If the pump startup dims the lights, that's probably a wiring loss issue -- as the voltage sags, amperage increases to maintain the same relative "power". Last time I saw this, rewiring for 220 fixed the problem.
