I was looking at building a circuit that provided a 12V sine wave, and then feeding that into a transformer running backwards, so that it came back out at 230V. T

he biggest problem with this is that the transistors on the output would get hot (worst case about 25W of heat), and a big transformer for the 25W worth of power.

It's the simplest way of doing it, but it's inefficient.
