An inverter takes DC (direct current) from a battery bank, and converts it into AC (alternating current) to supply power to common household appliances (like TVs, microwaves, etc.). It’s a vital component of any RV or van solar electrical system.
Which inverter is right for your RV or van depends on a number of factors, from the voltage of your battery bank to where you’ll be traveling and which appliances you’ll need to run at the same time. Inverters and inverter/chargers come in a range of models to account for all lifestyles and system sizes, and we’re here to help you find your best fit.
We want to make sure your solar set-up works for you in real life. That’s why doing these calculations ahead of time is so important: freedom on the road should still be comfortable, and this is how we make sure of it.
