High-output 12V AC power with automatic source transfer

Convert a properly sized 12V battery bank into 3,000W of clean 120V power.

The RICH SOLAR NOVA 3K12 is a 12V pure sine inverter with an integrated transfer switch for RVs, vans, trailers and off-grid systems. It supplies 3,000W continuous 120V output and can transfer between incoming AC and battery power in 20 milliseconds or less.

At a glance

Start with voltage, continuous output and surge

3,000WContinuous AC output
12VBattery voltage
120VAC output
6,000W for 5 secondsPublished surge
A 3,000W inverter can demand roughly 250A before losses

At 12V, full output requires very high battery current. The battery bank, BMS, busbars, conductors, lugs, disconnect and overcurrent protection must all support the continuous and surge demand with acceptable voltage drop.

RICH SOLAR NOVA 3K12 inverter feature overview

Why it stands out

Power conversion built for planned off-grid loads

Pure sine AC outputRun compatible electronics, appliances and motor loads with a waveform designed for normal 120V-class equipment.
Surge headroomThe published surge rating is 6,000W for 5 seconds; compare it with measured motor and compressor start-up demand rather than the running-watt label alone.
Built-in transfer switchNormal and Fast transfer modes move between 120V AC input and battery power in 20 milliseconds or less under the published conditions.

System fit

Design the battery and charging side before choosing loads.

Match a 12V battery bank to the inverter’s operating window and current demand, then confirm AC output, grounding, neutral treatment, transfer behavior and branch-circuit protection. This inverter does not include a solar charge controller. Plan charging equipment separately for the battery bank.

Build a real load listAdd simultaneous running watts and the largest overlapping start-up surge. Include pumps, compressors, microwaves, induction loads, power tools and any sensitive electronics.
Plan the installationAllow for the 15.6 × 12.0 × 4.1 in enclosure, 17.6 lb weight, ventilation, service clearances, cable bend radius, environmental limits and a qualified electrical installation.

Warranty eligibility and remedies depend on the written terms, product registration where required, correct system voltage, approved installation practices and operation within the electrical and environmental limits.

Common questions

NOVA 3K12 system questions

How large should the battery bank be?

Size it from required runtime and current capability. At full 3,000W output, the inverter can draw roughly 250A at nominal voltage before losses, so one battery may not support the required current even when its energy rating looks large enough.

Will it run my air conditioner or well pump?

Only if continuous watts, start-up surge, voltage and frequency all fit—and the battery bank can supply the DC current without excessive sag. Use measured or manufacturer start-up data for the exact load.

Can it power 240V loads?

This model is listed for 120V output. Do not assume native 240V support; choose a compatible split-phase architecture when 240V appliances or service equipment are required.

Does it include the battery and solar panels?

No. This listing covers the inverter. Storage, solar generation, disconnects, protection, distribution and site-specific installation materials are separate.
