Off-Grid Solar Inverter Kit with Solar Panel and 100A Charge Controller, 12V to 120V

Product details

2-Year GridGuardPlus Warranty included. Every item we sell is backed by our two-year warranty. Questions? Call 1-800-680-4080.

This complete solar inverter kit gives you the main parts of a small off-grid solar system in one box: a solar panel, a 100A solar charge controller, a power inverter that turns 12V battery power into 120V AC, and the cables to connect them. Choose the 500W or 1,000W kit to match what you need to run. It is a practical starting point for a cabin, RV, camper, shed or home backup setup.

The solar panel charges a 12V battery through the charge controller, and the inverter converts the stored 12V power into standard 120V household power. There is no fuel, no exhaust and no engine noise. The kit photos do not show a battery, so plan on supplying your own 12V battery.

Choose your kit

• 500W Solar Inverter Full Kit: for small electronics, lights and low-wattage devices
• 1000W Solar Inverter Complete Kit: for a larger load, such as several devices at once or small appliances

Both kits are the same price, so pick the size that fits the load you want to run.

What's in the kit

• Solar panel
• 100A solar charge controller with digital display
• Power inverter with AC outlets and USB ports (12V DC input, 120V AC output)
• Battery clip cables and cigarette lighter cable
• Extension cable for the solar panel

Key specs

• System voltage: 12V DC input to 120V AC output
• 100A solar charge controller with LCD display and USB port
• Inverter size options: 500W or 1,000W
• Includes solar panel, charge controller, inverter and connection cables
• Designed for off-grid use with a 12V battery (battery not shown in the kit photos)

Best for

• Cabins and sheds without grid power
• RVs, campers and vans
• Home backup for small loads
• Camping and outdoor energy use
• Emergency and off-grid preparedness

Choosing the right size

Add up the wattage of everything you plan to run at the same time and keep the total below the inverter's rating. Phones, laptops and LED lights fit comfortably on either kit. Choose the 1,000W kit if you want headroom for a few devices together or a small appliance. Motors and heating appliances can draw much more at start-up than their label wattage, so leave extra margin.

Good to know

How long the system runs depends on the 12V battery you connect, and how fast the panel recharges it depends on sunlight, panel angle and weather. It is a component kit, not a plug-and-play power station. It is not designed to run a whole house, central air conditioning or other heavy-duty appliances.

Who this is not for

Anyone who wants an all-in-one power station with a built-in battery, or who needs to power central air conditioning, electric heaters or an entire home.

Setup and care

• Connect the charge controller to the battery first, then the solar panel, following the kit's instructions
• Place the panel in direct sun and keep it clear of shade and debris
• Keep the inverter and controller dry and ventilated, away from heat sources
• Use a battery and fuse rated for the load you plan to run

Frequently asked questions

Does it include a battery?
The kit photos show the panel, charge controller, inverter and cables, but no battery. Plan on supplying a 12V battery.

What is the difference between the two kits?
The inverter size: 500W or 1,000W. They are the same price, so choose the one that fits the devices you want to run.

Can I use it indoors?
The inverter produces no exhaust and can be used indoors. Keep it dry and ventilated. The solar panel needs to be outside in the sun.

Can I add more panels?
