Inverters 12 volt to 240v mains power for off grid

A power inverter converts your 12 volt leisure battery energy into 240 volt mains power. This enables you to use hair driers, tongs, microwaves, air friers and and other appliances when off site pub stops and off grid wild camping.

Off-Grid Power for Campers and Motorhomes

A 12V to 240V inverter is the heart of any proper off-grid setup. Your leisure battery stores power at 12 volts DC, but most household appliances run on 240V AC.

An inverter safely converts your 12V battery power into the same 240V electricity you use at home — meaning you can charge laptops, boil a kettle, use a TV, run a microwave, and stay truly off-grid without needing a campsite hookup.


Why do I need a 12V to 240V Inverter?


  • Can run normal household appliances from your camper’s battery
     
  • Stay off-grid longer without relying on mains power
     
  • Ideal for van conversions, motorhomes, tours, and work vans
     
  • Works seamlessly with solar panels to create a complete off-grid system
     

We stock a good range to suit every budget and setup:


150W Inverter – Small Essentials.

Ideal for phones, tablets, cameras, LED lights and small electronics.


600W Inverter – Medium Devices.

Great for laptops, small TVs, fans, chargers, and low-wattage appliances.


1500W Inverter – The Most Popular Choice and the perfect all-rounder for campervans & motorhomes.


If you're unsure which inverter to choose, the 1500W model is the sweet spot. It’s powerful enough to run proper household items, but still efficient and safe for a 12V battery system.


What a 1500W inverter could run:


  • Air fryers
     
  • Microwaves
     
  • Toasters
     
  • Coffee machines
     
  • TVs and laptops
     
  • Power tools
     
  • Low-wattage kettles
     
  • Hair straighteners
     
  • Fridges and compressors


  • Induction hobs
     

Why most van owners choose 1500W:


  • Strong enough for real appliances
     
  • Doesn’t overload typical 12V systems
     
  • Works perfectly with Victron 100/20 & 100/30 solar setups
     
  • Ideal size for weekend vans, motorhomes, and long-term off-grid travel
     
  • Safer current draw than huge 3500W units
     
  • Excellent performance even on a single 100Ah lithium
     

This is the inverter size fitted to the majority of customers’ vans because it delivers the best balance of power, efficiency, and battery safety.


2000W Inverter – Heavy Appliances

Better for short bursts on higher-watt items like large induction hobs, commercial microwaves, or multiple appliances at once. Large batteries required.


3500W Inverter – High-Demand Systems

For big setups with multiple lithium batteries — suitable for large motorhomes and full-time off-grid users.
