Renogy 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Home, RV, Truck, Off-Grid Solar Power Inverter with Built-in 5V/2.1A USB, AC Hardwire Port, Remote Controller

Added this inverter to a camper that didn’t have a 120 volt system besides shore power. What a great product! The Bluetooth data is awesome. I ended up added a smart hub and a battery shunt, too, just for more info! The inverter is very well made, supplies a legit 2000 watts, will run my A/C system (while batteries last) and will power a microwave I installed. It’s a good upgrade and adds lots of functionality to the camper. Highly recommend Renogy products.

I *also* own a Renogy 2kw combined charger/inverter. That unit has an internal 30A transfer switch and is very fast to change over. HOWEVER, it has two serious issues: 1) The fan is on a LOT even when just charging lightly and 2) it has to be "on" to charge the battery bank.So this, plus a separate converter-charger, means (1) you move the plug from shore power to inverter when you need to. Or does it?Well, maybe not, if you are willing to run the same way. The reason is this: This unit is SILENT except when under pretty heavy load. So if you have a converter/charger that can deliver the amps you could turn this on whenever you have shore or generator power, the converter is on, and your plugged-in things are on this all the time. This is basically 15 amps of output (as is the 2kw all-in-one) but the transfer is manual -- other than none at all if you leave it on all the time when on shore or generator power.Is this viable? IMHO, yes, because the quiescent draw on this thing is only about 1 amp or roughly 12 watts. You can't leave it on ALL the time when there is no charge as obviously 1 amp will kill your pack BUT if you have a charge source 1 amp is not much -- and you silent operation except under heavy load. If your converter/charger fan is thermostatically controlled.... there you go.The biggest issue I have with all the integrated ones, whether Renogy, Victron or anyone else is noise level. This doesn't matter if the unit is not in inhabited space and far enough away that it doesn't matter, but if it IS in inhabited space then it really does matter quite a bit.No idea on reliability but it absolutely does put out the 120V, its sine-wave, and at least under light loads the fans never come on. Someone should figure out how to have ambient cooling except under heavy load and essentially be silent in something like the Victron MultiPlus (or equivalent Renogy) units, but until they do if noise is a factor separates win for that reason, along with charge being independent of the inverter being turned on.

most important it can be bonded at the main panel neutral and ground. Meaning it meets NEC and will trigger a GFCI breaker . Most of these inverters sold by other sellers can not be bonded and will never trip a GFCI wich is dangerous.This 3000 Watt Renogy 12 volt to 120vac inverter does have GFCI detection even without bonding. You will have to open the device and clip a small Steel wire inside the box in order to ground / bond at main panel . Remember that NEC says you can only have 1 bonded location for Neutral to ground and that is the main panel. I have tested the GFCI internal circuit without modification and it does indeed shut down 100% of the power, allowing saftey at 30 Ma cut off, While thats not on par with a GFCI at 2Ma cut off it is something for those not modifying with a GFCI outlet.THis inverter draws about 10 amps of DC power for every 1 amp of AC power produced which is common with most inverters on 12 VOlt, Jump up to 24 volt and you can drop it to 5 amps of DC for every 1 amp of AC. I like renogy they stand behind their products and even though they are Chinese made products the company is right here in The USA with american reps to speak with who are knowledgeable on product selection. They were able to understand NEC and what i was trying to do and guided me to this product i purchased.i have stuck with Renogy products over the years do to industry stories of reliability in commercial installations.

Took a trip to Yellowstone and was on the road for a month. We packed a ton of food in the fridge knowing that groceries are scarce and expensive in that area of the country. We had swapped out our absorption fridge for a residential fridge and needed a way to keep our fridge running while driving all day for a couple days in a row and while boondocking at overnight stops along the way. I replaced my marine deep-cycle battery with 2 Renogy AGM batteries and added this inverter. I then ran an extension cord to the back of the rig, up through the floor to behind the refridgerator. I then opened the rear vent panel on the rig to plug the fridge into the extension cord from the rig outlet. Turned on the inverter and had power to the fridge the whole time. When we were connected to shore power I turned off the inverter and plugged the fridge back into its normal outlet. Worked great and the frozen food stayed frozen! Easy to use and install and made with very good quality components (from what I could tell). Very happy with this purchase.
