Description
xVictron Sun Inverter 12/250-15 IEC
The Victron Sun Inverter 12/250-15 IEC is a compact combined inverter and solar charge controller designed for small off-grid and standalone power applications. It converts 12V DC battery power to 230V AC whilst simultaneously managing solar panel input to keep the battery charged. Suited to professional installers working on small remote systems, caravans, boats, and light off-grid loads.
Key Features
- Combined inverter and solar charge controller in a single unit, reducing wiring complexity and component count.
- 12V DC input with 250VA AC output capacity, suitable for small loads such as lighting, communications equipment, and low-power appliances.
- 15A solar charge controller integrated, allowing direct connection of a solar panel array to maintain battery state of charge.
- IEC connector standard, compatible with standard European and UK electrical installations.
- Compact and lightweight at 2.8 kg, making it practical for installations with limited space or weight constraints.
- Victron build quality with protection against overload, over-temperature, and deep battery discharge.
Product Overview
The Sun Inverter 12/250-15 combines two functions that would otherwise require separate devices: a pure sine wave inverter and a PWM solar charge controller. This integration keeps the installation footprint small and reduces the number of connections required. The 250VA output is sufficient for low-power AC loads, and the 15A charge controller input allows a modest solar array to keep a 12V battery bank topped up without additional equipment.
The IEC variant is wired to European and UK electrical standards, making it straightforward to integrate into compliant off-grid installations. Protection features include low battery voltage shutdown, overload protection, and over-temperature cutoff, all of which are standard requirements for unattended remote installations. As a Victron product, it is compatible with the wider Victron ecosystem, though its standalone design means it can also operate independently without additional Victron components.

Applications
- Small off-grid cabins, shelters, or remote monitoring stations requiring modest AC power from a 12V solar system.
- Marine and narrowboat installations where a compact combined unit is preferable to separate inverter and charge controller components.
- Caravan and motorhome auxiliary power systems with low AC load requirements.
- Telecoms and security equipment enclosures powered by a small solar and battery setup.
- Agricultural or rural outbuildings without grid connection needing basic AC supply.
What Is Included

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer. Ensure the battery bank, cabling, and fusing are correctly rated for 12V DC at the required current. The solar input must be matched to the 15A charge controller rating; do not exceed the specified panel input. For any grid-adjacent or building-integrated installations in the UK, consult current wiring regulations (BS 7671) and confirm compliance requirements with your local DNO before proceeding.
