430W Sharp NU-JC430B Full Black Monocrystalline Solar panel:

The system also includes a Sharp NU-JC430B Full Black Monocrystalline Solar Panel. The panel features advanced TOPCon cell technology for excellent performance in high temperatures, low light, and shaded conditions. The IP68-rated construction is resistant to PID, salt mist, ammonia, snow, dust, and sand, ensuring dependable operation even in the harshest environments. Backed by up to 25 years product warranty (EU) and 30 years performance warranty, these panels are built for decades of service.

1000W 12V Iconica Hybrid Inverter:

This inverter intelligently combines the functions of a 1000W pure sine wave inverter, 40A MPPT solar charge controller, and a 20A smart battery charger in one single unit:

1. 1000W 12V Pure sine wave inverter: Converts DC current into 230V AC mains electricity, to run various household appliances such as a TV, laptop, lighting, fans etc. Able to generate 1000VA of continuous power with a strong peak power handling capability of up to 2000VA (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 40A MPPT solar charge controller: The high efficiency MPPT controller regulates the input from the solar panels to the batteries or to 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 20A Smart battery charger: Designed to enable safe and efficient unattended charging of a battery 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 panel, 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 or 3G connection kit (purchased separately) to unlock access to  SMS / email status updates for the inverter, remote system monitoring from any location and much more.

Photonic Universe 200Ah Lithium Battery:

The LFP12-200 is a high-performance 200Ah 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, offering exceptional reliability, safety, and long service life. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, it features a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) that actively monitors and protects the battery for safe and efficient operation.

Additionally, the LFP12-200 includes Bluetooth connectivity via the XiaoXiangElectric app (available on IOS and Android), allowing users to monitor and manage battery performance in real time.

Additional items:

This kit also includes 1m positive and negative 25mm² tinned copper battery cables with loose ring terminals for connecting the inverter to the battery, a 100A fuse or circuit breaker for use between the hybrid inverter and the battery, 10m solar extension cable with MC4 connectors to connect to the existing 1.25m of solar cable fitted to the solar panel and 30A fuse or circuit breaker for use between the hybrid inverter and the solar panel.
