Off-grid Solar Inverters
(I make a commission for purchases made through the links below)
-Buy the largest inverter you can afford. Cost ranges from $20-$2000+. A 1100-1500 watt inverter is great for most people.
-If you plan to only power a laptop, lights and fan, buy a 300-750 watt inverter
-Most people do well with a 1500-2000 watt inverter
-If you want to run most household appliances, buy a 2000-3000 watt inverter
Pure sine wave costs more, but in my opinion it is worth it. Your appliances will run smoother (no buzzing noise) and motors will run with more power. Modified sine wave inverters will do the job, but once you buy a pure sine wave inverter, you will never buy another modified sine wave inverter again.
The packages below come with a hook-up wires and a remote. The remote switch is required for vehicle mounted solar power systems.

inverter/Charger Systems

Victron Multiplus Inverter/ChargerUp to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities.
Monitor and control your MultiPlus and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, via the required Color Control GX or Venus GX, from adjusting your MultiPlus to setting a Geofence for hire vehicles and more... The MultiPlus will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery. In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. 12v Models: 2000W Multiplus Click Here 3000W Multiplus Click Here |

Victron Quattro Inverter/ChargerThe Quattro can be connected to two independent AC sources, for example shore-side power and a generator, or two generators. The Quattro will automatically connect to the active source. The main output has no-break functionality. In the event of a grid failure, or shore or generator power being disconnected, the Quattro takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inputs of the Quattro. Loads that should not discharge the battery, such as air-conditioning or a water heater can be connected to this output.
The Quattro will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery. Up to 6 Quattros can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities. Monitor and control your Quattro and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website.

The King of 48V offgrid inverters:
Sol Ark
|
This inverter costs a ton, but for good reason. Highest efficiency and performance specs around. You can use any 48V battery you wish, it is code compliant, and it works for decades. It is designed here in the states, and everyone who has one loves it.
Sol Ark comes in a few sizes: 5,000 Watt 48V Model, Click Here 12,000 Watt 48V Model (best bang for your buck), Click Here
