What Are You Powering?

Most people don’t know if they need 12V or 48V yet — and you don’t have to. Pick your setup and I’ll send you straight to the right parts list.

Van or RV

Boat

Cabin or Shed

Small off-grid build, 12V or 48V

Whole House

12V or 48V?

Rule of thumb: 12V for vans, boats and RVs under 3,000W. 48V for cabins and houses — thinner wire, cheaper per watt, and required by most inverters over 5kW.
