Why are all the natural convection cooling inverters 230V output?

120v AIO's were late to the party as well. Outside of North America and half of Japan, the rest of the world runs on 220v so it makes more economical sense to start there.
Also, wattage being Volts * Amps, getting 20a out of 110 requires more cooling than getting 10a out of 220v.

So does the 230 set up just make more sense? Can you turn the 230 into 110 and if so is it worth it? Thanks...

Through various forms of conversion, up to and including AC to DC to AC conversion, you can do anything!
If you have to meet code, you can't do it though.
It's probably not worth it.

Thanks. It's not all-in-one, but it's an option if I can't find anything else. What else would I need to get to compensate for it not being all-in-one....charge controller, fuses, etc.? EDIT: https://www.morningstarcorp.com/products/tristar-mppt/ ???Morningstar

Heard of an auto transformer?

I cannot be held responsible for this information.
Yes you can with a lost.
Isolation Transformers - Victron Energy
Scheidingstransformatoren zijn onmisbaar in professionele scheepsinstallaties. Deze voorkomen elektrolytische corrosie en zorgen voor een veilig elektrisch systeem.
Its use in boats so a boat can connect on 120 and 230 volt.
Its wat you use on your boat
In my case i can go from 120v to 230v so my airco and other stuff stay working.

I have. I was going to mention it specifically, but figured it was included in "various forms of conversion".. but I suppose it's less a conversion and more of a transforming.

Yes, you'll need a charge controller and the appropriate fuses/breakers for your situation.
I have one of those TriStar charge controllers. They also have no fans, silent. They haven't changed the design in decades because it's rock solid and works perfectly. Oh and they have the best service reputation around.
You use the 2500W Morningstar inverter with it?

I wanted a Morningstar inverter, but at the time the largest they made was around 300w.
