Standard inverters

Standard inverters turn 12V battery power into AC power for small loads. Technics Electricals & Solar stocks YACHU 12V units: 300W (KSh 2,500), 600W (KSh 3,500) and 1000W (price on request), each with two AC outlets and a USB port, as listed. They do not charge the battery, so pair them with a charge controller or charger.

Buying guide

About standard inverters

Last updated 21 October 2026

What they suit. As a guide, a 300W unit runs a TV, decoder, Wi-Fi router, laptop and phone chargers; a 600W unit gives headroom for more of the same. Don’t use them for kettles, irons, heaters or motors with a big start-up surge. Check the watts on your appliances.
Set-up. Connect the inverter to a 12V battery with short, thick cables and the right fuse. Charge the battery with a YACHU panel and PWM controller, or move up to a hybrid inverter if you want solar, battery and KPLC in one box.
Warranty is the manufacturer’s; ask us for terms.

FAQ

Standard inverters FAQs

Straight answers before you buy. Anything else? Ask the counter.

Can a hybrid inverter keep my house running during a KPLC blackout?

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.

Can I monitor a YACHU inverter on my phone?

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.

Is a 6.2kW inverter the same as a 5kVA or 6kVA inverter?

Not exactly. kW is real power and kVA is apparent power, and sellers often mix the two. Our YACHU hybrid inverters are sold by kW: 1.5kW (12V, KSh 27,000), 3.5kW (24V, KSh 33,000) and 6.2kW (48V, KSh 45,000). When you compare a “5kVA” quote, compare continuous output in watts and the battery voltage.

Ask us for the datasheet of the model you are considering and we will explain the ratings in plain terms.

What is the difference between a hybrid and a normal inverter?

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.

How much is a hybrid inverter in Kenya?

At Technics Electricals & Solar in Kiserian, YACHU hybrid inverters cost KSh 27,000 for the 1.5kW 12V, KSh 33,000 for the 3.5kW 24V and KSh 45,000 for the 6.2kW 48V. Each has a built-in MPPT solar charge controller and is listed with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Installation is quoted separately.

Pick the size by what must run at the same time, and match the battery to the inverter voltage. Ask us for the warranty terms.

What can a 300W or 600W inverter run?

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.
