YACHU 300W Power Inverter, 12V

A hybrid inverter combines an inverter, a solar charge controller (MPPT) and a grid charger in one box, so it can power your home from solar, battery and KPLC electricity. A normal inverter only turns battery power into AC and needs a separate charge controller. Our YACHU hybrid inverters cost KSh 27,000 to KSh 45,000.

Our normal (standard) YACHU 12V inverters cost KSh 2,500 (300W) and KSh 3,500 (600W), with a 1000W model on request. They suit small loads such as a TV, router and laptop.

As a guide, the YACHU 12V 300W inverter (KSh 2,500) runs a TV, decoder, Wi-Fi router, laptop and phone chargers together, and the 600W (KSh 3,500) gives headroom for a bigger TV or more devices. Neither suits kettles, irons, heaters or fridges with a big start-up surge. Check the watts on your appliances.

Both run from a 12V battery and have two AC outlets and a USB port, as listed. Charge the battery with a solar panel and PWM controller, or step up to a hybrid inverter.

Yes, within its size. A hybrid inverter charges your battery from solar panels and KPLC power, then switches over automatically when the grid goes off, so connected lights, TV, Wi-Fi and fridge keep running from the battery. How long it lasts depends on battery size and load; cookers, kettles and water heaters drain small systems fast.

Only the circuits wired to the inverter stay on, so we agree with you which ones matter before we install. WhatsApp us your appliance list and we will size it.

Some models, yes. The YACHU 1.5kW and 6.2kW hybrid inverter listings say they can be monitored on a phone through a Wi-Fi module. Ask us whether the module comes with your unit or costs extra before you buy, and which app it uses; we can help you connect it.
