A 230V converter (DC/AC inverter) transforms the direct current (DC) from your batteries or autonomous solar system into 220–230V alternating current to power your standard appliances. Two technologies available: modified sine, more affordable for simple uses, and pure sine, which delivers grid-quality power — essential for computers, motors and sensitive equipment. Available from trusted brands including Victron Energy and Studer for motorhome, boat, campervan and off-grid installations.
Choose in 30 seconds
Pure sine or modified sine: choose pure sine for any sensitive device (computer, charger, motor, pump, medical equipment). Modified sine may work for simple lighting and heating elements on a tight budget.
Input voltage: match your battery bank — 12V for small mobile setups (motorhome, boat), 24V for mid-range power, 48V for residential off-grid systems.
Power (VA or W): add up all simultaneously connected appliances + 20% margin. Motors and compressors need 2–3× their rated power at start-up.
Your use case: motorhome / van → compact 12V or 24V. Boat → marine-certified pure sine. Off-grid home → high-power 48V with automatic transfer.
Brand and reliability: for daily or intensive use, choose trusted brands like Victron Energy or Studer — build quality and after-sales support make all the difference.
