Victron Sun Inverter 12/250-15
The solar inverter combines a pure sine wave inverter and a PWM solar charger in one device, making installation easy and requiring minimal wiring. It allows you to power household appliances requiring 230V AC using standard home or automotive 12V batteries. The solar charger ensures battery charging using energy from your solar panels. The charging algorithm is programmable. Inverter and solar charger parameters can be viewed via Bluetooth using the VictronConnect app. Additionally, the inverter can be connected via the VE.Direct port to a GX device or GlobalLink 520 for system monitoring.
Proven reliability
A full-bridge topology with a toroidal transformer has proven its reliability over many years. The inverters are short-circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature.
High starting power
Required for starting loads such as LED drivers, halogen lamps, or power tools.
ECO mode
In ECO mode, the inverter switches to standby when the load drops below a preset value (minimum load: 15 W). Once in standby, it briefly turns on at regular intervals (default: every 2.5 seconds). If the load exceeds the preset level, the inverter remains on.
PWM solar charger
The solar charger ensures battery charging using energy from solar panels. The charging algorithm is programmable.
Remote on/off
The Phoenix Inverter Control VE.Direct Remote Panel (not included) can be used to remotely turn the inverter on or off. Alternatively, a remote switch can be connected to the two-pole connector or between the positive battery terminal and the left terminal of the two-pole connector.
LED diagnostics
A description of individual states can be found in the included manual.
Bluetooth
Inverter and solar charger parameters can be read, monitored, and configured via Bluetooth in the VictronConnect app.
VE.Direct communication port
The VE.Direct port can be used for connection to a GX device, GlobalLink 520 for monitoring via the VRM portal, or for connection to a computer for monitoring or configuration via the VictronConnect app.
Monitoring via VictronConnect app or GX device:
- Inverter input and output voltage and load percentage
- Solar power, voltage, and current
- Operating status and alarms
Fully configurable via VictronConnect app:
- Battery low voltage alarm and reset levels
- Battery low voltage shutdown and restart levels
- Dynamic cut-off: load-dependent shutoff level
- Output voltage 210–245 V and frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz
- ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sensitivity level
- Battery charging current, algorithm, and voltage
- Battery temperature compensation or low-temperature shutoff reduction
Load transfer to another AC source: automatic transfer switch
For low-power Victron inverters, the Filax automatic transfer switch is recommended. Filax features a very short switching time (less than 20 milliseconds), allowing computers and other electronic devices to continue operating without interruption.
DC and PV connections with screw terminals
No special cable terminals or tools are needed for installation.
Available with IEC-320 socket
An IEC-320 plug is included.
