Inverter / Charger Kits
When selecting an inverter for your system consider the following:
Wattage:
500W or less - Computers, Lights, Cell Phones
1200W or less - Instant pot, Refrigerator
2000W or more - Microwaves, Blenders, Hairdryers
2800W or more - Air conditioner, Induction cooktops
Output configuration:
15A - Single outlet
30A - Single sided breaker box with 3-prong shore cord
50A - Double sided breaker box with 4-prong shore cord
The primary function of the inverter in your off-grid power system is to produce 120V AC power from a battery bank. More sophisticated inverters, known as inverter/chargers have the ability to send power in both directions, and charge a battery bank with incoming 120V AC from shore power or a generator. Inverter/chargers replace existing factory chargers and typically provide higher charging current, at more controllable setpoints, to more effectively maintain your battery bank. Inverter/chargers also add simplicity, by incorporating a built-in transfer switch. This transfer switch allows you to have the same outlets for shore power that you have for inverter power. More advanced inverters have the PowerAssist or Hybrid feature, that allows inverted battery power to be mixed with shore power in situations where your loads are demanding more power than your shore connection or generator can provide.
Empty Shell kits are designed for power system upgrades in applications where there are no pre-existing electrical infrastructure. This includes van conversions, skoolies, horse trailers, tiny homes, ect.
30A RV Upgrade kits are designed for applications where there is already a single-sided AC panel, inlet, and shore cord (with 3-prongs). This includes most Class B & C motorhomes, and smaller trailers.
50A RV Upgrade kits are designed for applications where there is already a double-sided AC panel, inlet, and shore cord (with 4-prongs). This includes most Class A motorhomes, large trailers, and 5th wheels.
Empty Shell Inverter/Charger kits are full encompassing kits, designed for vehicles like van conversions or skoolies that do not have any existing wiring. These kits include the main AC panel and a shore power connection.

Note: Some Keurig coffee makers are known to be incompatible with inverters. In some cases, this will just result in a loud buzzing noise while operating, and in other cases, it will result in inverter overload and failure to operate. This doesn't mean your inverter will be damaged or that trying to use your coffee maker is dangerous; however, AM Solar cannot support compatibility issues resulting from a Keurig coffee maker. We recommend doing some research and purchasing a different coffee maker if you find yours to be incompatible with your inverter system.
Our 30A Inverter/Charger kits are designed for rigs that have a 30A AC service (3 Wire / L1- N -G), and that already have a 30A AC distribution panel and Shore power connection.

First of all it is the Bluetooth accessory for Victron’s range of inverter/chargers: Multiplus-I, MultiPlus-II, Quattros, and range extension of Phoenix Inverters with a VE.Bus port. When installed, use the VictronConnect App to monitor operation and also operate the system: change the input current limit as well as switch between Off, On and Charger-only modes.
Secondly it can work as a Voltage- and Temperature-sense device for the inverter/charger. This works with all models.
For monitoring, the device is a great alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motor homes for which the Color Control GX or Cerbo GX are a step too far.
Please note that the MultiPlus or Quattro must be updated to the latest firmware in order to utilize the dongle.

For use with generators with an ‘open neutral or floating neutral’. Some generators have a ‘floating neutral’. This might cause the Power Watchdog EPO surge protectors or any other EMS surge protector to give you an ‘open ground’ or ‘open neutral’ error code and prevent power from going into your RV. To correct this issue, simply plug this item into an unused 15A AC receptacle on the generator. This should create a neutral to ground bond and the condition should be resolved.
Easy start kits are typically installed on air conditioning units where the start-up surge might overwhelm an inverter. This kit also comes in a recommended Bluetooth version that allows for diagnostic feedback. Please note that the Bluetooth module does NOT allow you to control your AC unit.
