2.1kW grid-tie solar power kit with 5.5kW hybrid inverter and 9.6kWh battery ban
Includes 6 x 360W solar panels, a 5500W 48V hybrid grid-tie / off-grid inverter with integrated 6500W 500V dual MPPT solar charge controller and 60A mains battery charger, a 9.6kWh battery bank and connection cables
This 2.1kW 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 2.1kW of solar power into the large 9.6kWh 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:
- 6 x 360W monocrystalline solar panels each with 1m solar cable and T4 connectors
- 5.5kW 48V hybrid solar pure sine wave inverter
- 9.6kWh 48V 200Ah battery bank - comprised of 4 x 12V GEL 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
- Battery connection cables and loose ring terminals
6 x Monocrystalline 360W Solar Panels:
The six 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:
The Iconica 5500W 48V hybrid grid-tie inverter boasts advanced 3-in-1 hybrid functionality, combining a pure sine wave inverter, an MPPT solar charge controller, and a smart mains charger. It offers highly customisable settings for various parameters (max. feed-in power, charging voltages, battery type, etc.) and advanced communication options, including remote monitoring via a Wi-Fi connection kit. Additionally, the inverter features an illuminated LCD screen displaying real time data. Compatible with various battery types, this inverter is a versatile and efficient solution for modern energy needs.
The inverter features three main operating modes:
Grid-tie mode: Energy generated by solar panels is fed back to the national grid.
Grid-tie with battery backup: Generated solar power can be used to feed energy back to the grid, supply power to the load and charge the battery. Mains electricity can also be used to power the load and charge the battery. In this mode, the user can configure PV energy supply priority, charging source priority, and load supply source priority. When solar power is not sufficient to power the load, or if mains power is unavailable, the battery will act as a 'back up' and continue to power the load (e.g. at night when there is no solar power or during a mains power cut). 'Peak' and 'Off-peak' times for electricity demand can also be set, in order to prioritise either load power supply or battery charging.
Off-grid mode: Utilises solar energy to power loads or charge batteries without feeding power back to the grid, while still allowing mains power usage if necessary. In this mode, the user can configure PV energy supply priority, charging source priority, and load supply source priority.
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.
9.6kWh 48V 200Ah Gel Battery Bank:
The Gel deep-cycle batteries are non-spillable, completely sealed, and maintenance free - amongst the very safest batteries you can find. They have a much longer service life compared to standard wet-cell batteries due to less degradation and corrosion inside the battery. Gel batteries hold charge very well and have a much lower self-discharge rate.
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, and 3 x 30cm battery cables for connection of the battery bank.
