The PV Tech 1200 Solar Inverter is a compact, high-efficiency 1.2kW off-grid solar inverter available at Maxell Power, engineered to deliver dependable energy backup for residential solar house systems, small offices, and light home appliances. It features an integrated MPPT solar charger supporting up to 1000W of PV array input with a max solar input current of 12A and an open-circuit voltage rating of up to 125V DC. Operating within an MPPT voltage range of 18V–100V DC, it efficiently charges energy storage systems even during low sunlight conditions.
Delivering a clean pure sine wave output with a unity power factor (PF = 1) and a peak surge capacity of 2.4 kVA, the PV Tech 1200 safely powers sensitive electronics, fans, and lighting loads. The inverter operates with a 12V DC nominal battery architecture, supporting both Lithium-ion and Lead-Acid batteries with up to 120A total maximum charging current (PV + AC). Equipped with AC Activation and PV Activation features, it provides seamless 10 ms fast transfer performance for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) functionality during power cuts. Pair this inverter with our MP 1200-ULTRA Lithium Battery or high-efficiency panels like the Bifacial 280W Half Cut Module. For custom inverter configurations, contact our technical engineering team.
