230V Inverters

A 230V converter (DC/AC inverter) transforms the direct current (DC) from your batteries (or an autonomous solar system) into 220–230V alternating current to power your appliances. There are two types of technology available: modified sine wave, which is more economical, and pure sine wave, which delivers a quality of current similar to the public grid and is suitable for sensitive uses.

To make the right choice, check the input voltage (12/24/48V) and the power required, then opt for a recognised brand if the converter is to be used for long periods or on a daily basis.

Choose in 30 seconds

  • Sensitive devices (computers, motors, certain chargers): choose a pure sine wave.
  • Simple use/budget: a modified sine wave may suffice, but the quality of the current is inferior to the mains.
  • Compatibility: check the battery voltage (12/24/48V) and the power required.
  • Brand/reliability: choose recognised brands if the converter runs for long periods or on a daily basis.

FAQ - 230V inverters (DC/AC converters)

1. What is a 230V (DC/AC) inverter/converter used for? +
It converts direct current (DC) from batteries or an off-grid system into 220–230V alternating current (AC) to power appliances.
2. What’s the difference between pure sine wave and modified sine wave? +
Modified sine wave is more economical but less suitable for sensitive devices. Pure sine wave reproduces a grid-like power quality and is suitable for all uses.
3. How do I choose the input voltage 12V / 24V / 48V? +
Choose according to the voltage of your battery bank (or system). Always check compatibility before purchase.
4. How do I size the inverter power rating? +
Base it on the power of the appliances you want to run and on start-up peaks (especially motors/compressors).
5. When should I choose another type of inverter instead? +
For a grid-connected installation, look at grid-tie inverters. For battery storage, a hybrid inverter. For panel-by-panel optimization, micro-inverters.
