Other Inverters

Other Inverters include inverter solutions designed for off-grid, mobile, and standalone power applications. This collection covers inverter models that do not fall within single-phase or three-phase grid-tied hybrid categories, including inverter-chargers and all-in-one inverter systems.

The range is intended for use in solar PV systems, battery-based installations, and backup power setups where flexible energy conversion and power management are required. Depending on the model, inverters may support battery charging, solar charge control, or AC bypass functionality.

All products are supplied by established manufacturers and are intended for integration with compatible batteries, solar panels, and electrical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions: Off-Grid, Mobile & Standalone Inverters

What types of inverters are included in this collection?
Our "Other Inverters" collection covers specialist models that do not fall under standard single-phase or three-phase grid-tied hybrid categories. This range is specifically designed for off-grid, mobile, and standalone power applications. It includes inverter-chargers, all-in-one inverter systems, and transformer-based units from trusted brands like TBB Power, Iconica, and Photonic Universe. Whether you need flexible energy conversion for a campervan or robust power management for an off-grid cabin, this collection has a solution.

What is the difference between an inverter-charger and an all-in-one inverter?
Both are fantastic for off-grid and backup power setups, but they have different built-in features:

  • Inverter-Chargers (e.g., TBB Power Kinergier or TYRANN series): These units convert DC battery power into AC power for your appliances, while also featuring a mains battery charger. This means you can plug in an external AC power source (like a backup generator or shore power) to charge your batteries during the winter.
  • All-in-One Inverter Systems (e.g., Iconica Hybrid Pure Sine Wave Inverters): These take it a step further by including an integrated MPPT solar charge controller. This allows you to connect your solar panels, batteries, and AC power sources into a single, compact unit for streamlined power management.

Are these inverters suitable for mobile setups like campervans and boats?
Yes! We stock 12V and 24V pure sine wave inverters that are perfect for mobile applications. For example, our 12V TBB Power inverters featuring integrated AC bypass or bi-directional functionality are highly popular for campervans, motorhomes, and marine battery-based installations where safe and reliable power management on the move is critical.

Can I use these inverters with lithium batteries?
Absolutely. The inverter solutions in this collection are intended for integration with a wide range of compatible batteries, including modern Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), AGM, and lead-acid batteries. When selecting an inverter, just ensure you match its DC voltage rating (12V, 24V, or 48V) to your specific battery bank.

Can these inverters act as a backup power supply during a power cut?
Yes, many of the models in this collection are ideal for backup power setups. Inverters equipped with AC bypass functionality or built-in mains chargers can seamlessly switch to battery power if your primary AC source (the grid) fails. We also stock heavy-duty options, such as the 8kW 48V transformer-based inverters, which are capable of handling the high surge loads of essential household appliances during an outage.

How do I know what size off-grid inverter to buy?
To size your inverter correctly for a solar PV system or standalone application, you must calculate the total wattage of the appliances you want to run at the same time.

  • Check the continuous wattage rating of the inverter (e.g., 2000W or 3000W) to ensure it covers your standard loads.
  • If you are running inductive loads with motors (like fridges, power tools, or pumps), ensure the inverter's "surge" or "peak" capacity can handle the brief spike in power required to start them.
