Renogy 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Home, RV, Truck, Off-Grid Solar Power 110V with Built-in 5V/2.1A USB Port, Hardwire Remote Controller

The Renogy 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter is exactly what I needed for my DIY power bank project. It delivers clean, stable power for sensitive electronics and runs quietly without overheating. The build quality feels solid, and installation was straightforward. Great performance and reliability highly recommend for home, RV, or off-grid setups!

Good product, but not enough power for using it in semi truck. It’s still usable for one microwave or freezer but for both of them on time- shut down every couple of minutes

This thing is amazing, honestly a great upgrade in my sailboat, went with renogy because they have always backed their products and helped me when I'm having a issue with install it function. A++++

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.

Worthless, tech support horrible, under warranty but will not replace/refund. Let me explain further… I purchased this inverter for an off-grid Solar charged battery bank to run my Starlink and wifi camera, along with a 7k btu window unit. This setup is located in the Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana (think the TV show “swamp people” that’s where this camp is) in the “middle of nowhere”. The battery bank consists of (8) 100ah 12v Flooded Lead Acid batteries wired in parallel for a useable 400ah bank. Batteries are wired together properly with 2/0 gauge jumpers and connected to the inverter with 3’ 2/0 gauge pure copper cables. Battery bank is charged/maintained by two Renogy charge controllers (1) 40amp MPPT with (4) 100w panels connected 2x2 (2-200watt strings). The second Renogy Charge controller is a 60amp MPPT with 3x1 240 watt solar panels. Plenty of power for what I want, and yes I know I could get more with a 24v system… but I went with Renogy 12v… big Mistake!! Everything worked fine for about two months. The Starlink was on, camera working, and I was able to turn the Wifi AC window unit on during the day to dehumidify the camp. Then one morning everything turned off, which required a trip down and 30 minute boat ride to investigate. The yellow GFCI light was on. So I wired the AC unit to the load terminals that supposedly provide more power, flipped the switch back to on, tested (and it worked) and returned home. Next day it happened again. So I called Amazon (who was the most helpful during this fiasco). Amazon directed me to Renogy because I was outside the 30 day return window. Renogy advised I needed to ground the inverter and use 4/0 wires to the 3000watt inverter. Note there isn’t anything in the instructions that specify what cables are required/recommend. So I make the long haul again with 10AWG stranded insulated copper wire, 8 gauge pure copper wire, an 8’ grounding rod, and brass grounding connectors. I sink the rod about 20’ in the mud, run the 8awg solid copper wire into the camp, and ground the inverter using the recommended 10AWG insulated stranded copper wire. I make the connection to the inverter using 2’ 4/0 pure copper cables, test, (it works!), and I return home. Next day everything shuts down again. I called Amazon who put me though to Asurion (I bought the insurance), who routed me back to Renogy because it was still under manufacture warranty. Renogy asked if I had performed any multimeter tests, which I had for my own curiosity (not directed to do so by Renogy) and so I reported my test results… 13.8 v DC no load, 120 v AC no load. Renogy said they needed picture evidence. I asked if I they could save me another trip down and allow me to return/replace the inverter, and they said no, no, no. I asked several times because I felt they just kept making things up for me to-do and not honor their warranty. They said I could return it (but wouldn’t allow me to do so) and they could test it, and if they found nothing wrong they would charge me for testing and shipping. At this point I really don’t trust them to “test” the inverter and accept that there’s something wrong with it. I tell them they need to honor their warranty, they direct me back to Amazon. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS INVERTER!!! Save your TIME and MONEY and buy another brand!!

I’ve bought several Renogy panels, 2 charge controllers, and this inverter. Everything but this inverter had preformed to 9.5 of 10. This inverter has been nothing but a headache since I installed it. I installed it 6 months after purchase, didn’t check it out when I received it. What a mistake that was. Runs hotter than the book says it should, by 5 degrees C. Throws out codes like crazy one second then they disappear the next second. Load is only 400 watts or less. 12 volts DC. Fan doesnt kick in till it’s 50 C, book says max is 45 C. It is quiet though, voltage steady. No way to know how durable it is or isn’t. Traveling, who knows, I couldn’t say. Customer service, from Amazon was as expected due to the time passed. Customer service from Renogy, never had such a run around I my 67 years on this earth. It’s been a month since I filed a warranty claim with Renogy and I still don’t have a proper working inverter. A real disappointment this purchase is. Renogy had been my go to, now I’m rethinking that. Maybe I’ll see a warranty inverter one day, I emailed them 5 days ago about this. I was told the next day warranty had been approved, what ever that is supposed to mean. I’m not going to hold my breath. Update 10/24/2025 Renogy finally shipped me a warranty replacement, I installed it the next day. This is such a change from the POS I bought before, it’s like night and day. Not only is it not throwing codes out, it’s running at the factory specs. When it reaches 45 C, fan kicks on and the temperature drops like it should. I’m happy about that ! Side note, something I had no idea was going on till I received my replacement. Battery power is lasting longer, even with me putting a slightly larger load on it. The other was sucking my batteries down far too faster as it turns out. I believe I got what I paid for finally. I had to fight for it, which I don’t like, but I got it finally. Product wise, At this point, I give a 9.5 Customer Service, At this point, I give a 5 Changing my overall rating to a 7.5 December 9, 2025 Update Had this 3000 watt inverter running since it was installed about a day after arrival. Some things Renogy should change for the consumer. It runs hot even under a minimal load. I have run it at 10 watts for hours, and I have run it at 500 watts for hours. No matter what the load is it runs hot if you have it in a 70 degree Fahrenheit ( 21.1 ) Celsius environment. It will exceed the maximum operating temperature. It runs in a environment of 49 Fahrenheit and 9 Celsius really well. My opinion is is needs a lot more heat sink built into it, external fins might do it. Living in Interior Alaska, I can make the needed adjustments. It gets cool here. Other than the heat issue, it’s doing what I ask of it. I still give it a 7.5

This runs my appliances cleanly without weird noise, flicker, or “something feels off” behavior. The Bluetooth monitoring is actually useful (not just a checkbox feature), and the install is straightforward as long as you plan your cable routing and fusing first. Feels like a legit upgrade.

Preface: I'm using this in a boat which is acceptable but not ideal. It has to do with the way the neutral and ground are connected. However, this is more of an issue with combo interval/charger units, and since this is strictly an inverter that gets turned off when we're finished with it, that makes it acceptable. Please consult a qualified marine electrician. Product evaluation: We are very happy with this inverter. The instructions are clear and it works as described. We have purposely purchased appliances that are lower wattage so that it can run 2-3 of them at once. As a test, I used it to heat a tank of water on the boat and it did the job. If the batteries dip below about 11.5 volts, it will keep working but start beeping. As you may know, flooded batteries (which we have) can drop down to 11.5 volts for a short period without harming them. Once the load is taken off, they generally "recover" to well over 12 volts. While the inverter comes with a wired remote on-off switch, we do not use it. As should always be installed, we have a rotary inverter power cut-off switch between the battery bank and the inverter. We simply leave the power switch on the inverter housing in the on position, then use the rotary switch to turn it on and off. We also installed a 250amp fuse between the battery and the rotory switch. Do not use the inverter without a proper fuse. The inverter comes with 2 battery cables but they were not adequate gauge for our application. There are tables online that will tell you for a given load and length of wire run what gauge you need. Do not gloss over these details. The wires being included could lead you to believe they are all that's needed to connect the inverter to the battery, but that would leave out the fuse and cut-off switch. We have now been using the inverter for a couple of months with zero issues. Because we have it installed where we can't easily see it, we like the short beep that it makes when we power it up. It gives a similar but longer beep when powered down. No negatives to report.
