5000W 48V Iconica Hybrid Inverter:

This inverter intelligently combines the functions of a 5000W pure sine wave inverter, 80A MPPT solar charge controller and a 60A smart battery charger in one single unit:

1. 5000W 48V Pure sine wave inverter: Converts DC current from the solar panels into 230V AC mains electricity, to run various household appliances such as a TV, laptop, lighting, fans etc. Able to generate 5000VA of continuous power with a strong peak power handling capability of up to 10000VA (to start appliances with electric motors). This inverter is a pure sine wave type, which easily surpasses modified sine wave inverters in terms of efficiency and compatibility with a wider range of appliances.

2. Inbuilt 80A MPPT solar charge controller: The high efficiency MPPT controller regulates the input from the solar panels to the batteries or to a load, with a full range of safety functions including protection against overcharge, overheating, reverse current etc. The controller operates at up to 98% efficiency to extract the maximum possible power from the solar array.

3. Enhanced 60A Smart battery charger: Designed to enable safe and efficient unattended charging of the batteries from a mains power source or generator, with full overcharge protection and multiple charging stages.

Additional features: This model also features an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), and can accept input from the solar panels, mains power/ a generator and the batteries - either from a single or combination of input sources.

The inverter is supplied with a PC connection cable and PC software CD for convenient viewing of important system information, and can also be connected to a Wi-Fi connection kit (purchased separately) to unlock access to email status updates for the inverter, remote system monitoring from any location and much more.

Photonic Universe 100Ah Wall-Mounted Lithium Battery:

The LFP48-100W is a powerful and versatile 100Ah 48V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery module designed for wall-mounted energy storage solutions. With its robust capacity and scalable design, it’s perfect for a wide range of applications, including renewable energy systems and backup power.

Equipped with an advanced Battery Management System (BMS), this battery actively regulates charging and discharging processes while monitoring voltage, current, and temperature. The BMS ensures optimal performance, longevity, and protection against overcharging, over-discharging, and extreme temperatures.

Additional items:

This kit also includes 1m positive and negative 35mm² tinned copper battery cables with loose ring terminals for connecting the inverter to the batteries, a 120A fuse or circuit breaker for use between the hybrid inverter and the batteries, 10m solar extension cable with MC4 connectors to connect to the existing 1.25m of solar cable fitted to the solar panels, DC isolator switch for use between the hybrid inverter and the solar panels, and battery linking cable to connect the batteries together.
