Hybrid Solar Inverter 1.8KW 12V for Barge

Hybrid Solar Inverter 1.8KW MPPT 12V Pure Sine Wave – Built for Life on the Water If you live aboard or spend long stretches on your barge, you'll know the frustration of running the engine just to keep your batteries topped up, or relying on noisy, fuel-hungry generators to power your home comforts. This hybrid solar inverter changes all of that. With a built-in 80A MPPT solar charge controller, it harvests every bit of available solar power and stores it in your battery bank — keeping your lights, fridge, water pump, TV, and laptop running quietly and efficiently, even on cloudy Irish days. When you do moor up with shore power available, it seamlessly switches to charging from the mains. No fuss, no manual switching. This is the kind of setup that serious liveaboards and long-distance cruisers invest in — and once it's in, you'll wonder how you managed without it. What makes it a great fit for barge life: - Pure sine wave output — safe for all sensitive electronics, inverters, and modern appliances on board - Built-in 80A MPPT solar charge controller — one compact unit does it all, saving space on your boat - Charges from shore power (marina hookup) or solar panels automatically - Configurable to prioritise solar over shore power — reduce your marina electricity costs - Auto-restarts when shore power is reconnected after an outage - Compatible with generator power — useful when moored away from facilities - Cold start function — reliable even after a period of low battery - Overload, over-temperature, and short circuit protection — important in a damp, marine environment - Wi-Fi monitoring — keep an eye on your power system from your phone - Compact and lightweight at just 4.5kg — easy to fit in tight engine rooms or battery compartments Ideal for: - Liveaboard barges and narrowboats - Canal and river cruisers - Reducing engine running hours and fuel costs - Cutting marina electricity bills with solar self-consumption - Reliable backup when shore p
