Description

This 3.6kW 48V Complete Grid-Tie Solar Power System is designed to seamlessly integrate with the national power grid, offering a comprehensive solution for users. It is especially beneficial for those with high electricity consumption, such as when using electric and plug-in vehicles, swimming pools, air conditioners, and heat pumps.

By feeding up to 3.6kW of solar power into the large 24kWh battery bank, this system can significantly reduce electricity bills while providing unmatched versatility. The inverter operates efficiently in grid-tie, hybrid, off-grid, and UPS modes, ensuring uninterrupted power supply even during mains power cuts. Advanced monitoring features enable users to keep track of the battery bank through a mobile app connected via Bluetooth, with optional Wi-Fi connectivity (sold separately) and remote portal monitoring capabilities available for added convenience.

The innovative inverter is fully compliant with G98/G99 standards required for grid-tie installation and is easily upgradable. Users can integrate a separate solar array via an additional MPPT solar controller, which can be added to the system at any time, perfect for more complex roof spaces. Although the kit includes an AGM lead-acid battery bank, it is also compatible with Lithium batteries, allowing for greater flexibility in storage options.

Kit includes:

• 10 x 360W monocrystalline solar panels each with 1m solar cable and T4 connectors
• 5.5kW 48V hybrid solar pure sine wave inverter
• 24kWh 48V 500Ah battery bank – comprised of 24 x 2V AGM batteries
• Battery measurement smartshunt with inbuilt bluetooth
• Automatic circuit breaker
• 25m 4mm² solar extension cables
• A pair of T4 solar connectors
• 2 x 1m of 50mm² tinned copper battery cables
• Loose ring terminals

10 x Monocrystalline 360W Solar Panels:

The ten high efficiency, waterproof, 360W solar panels included in the kit feature innovative 5 busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the 2, 3 or 4 busbar solar cells used in other solar panels, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. Each solar panel is also fitted with 2 x 1m of 4mm² cable with T4 connectors on the end which can be easily connected to the solar extension cable included within the kit.

5500W 48V Iconica Hybrid Inverter:

Using a Grid-tie operation with battery backup offers significant advantages over standard grid-tie inverters by ensuring uninterrupted power and reducing electricity costs. During power outages, standard grid-tie inverters shut down completely, leaving users without electricity and wasting solar energy. In contrast, this advanced inverter utilises stored battery power to maintain an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), keeping appliances running and continuing to harvest energy from solar panels. As electricity prices rise and subsidies for grid-fed power decrease, maximising self-consumption becomes crucial. The system can prioritise using stored solar energy with 'peak' and 'off-peak' settings to restrict mains power usage during periods where electricity cost is higher, thereby reducing reliance on the grid and lowering overall electricity costs. This approach ensures that solar energy is effectively utilised, enhancing both energy independence and cost efficiency.

24kWh 48V 500Ah AGM Battery Bank:

The advanced 48V 500Ah battery bank included in this kit is comprised of 24 x 2V high quality AGM batteries, complete with metal plate connectors for instant connection. Using 2V batteries offers important advantages over battery banks made up of 12V batteries, including a longer service life and deeper discharge capability.

Additional items:

This kit also includes 1m positive and negative 50mm² tinned copper battery cables with loose ring terminals for connecting the inverter to the battery bank, an automatic circuit breaker for use between the hybrid inverter and the battery bank, 25m solar extension cable and T4 connectors to connect to the existing 1m of solar cable fitted to the solar panels.
