3.6kW grid-tie solar power kit with 5.5kW hybrid inverter and 24kWh battery bank

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

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.
