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

The system includes two Sharp NU-JC430B Full Black Monocrystalline Solar Panels. The panels features advanced TOPCon cell technology for excellent performance in high temperatures, low light, and shaded conditions. Their 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

2000W 24V Iconica Hybrid Inverter:

This inverter intelligently combines the functions of a 2000W pure sine wave inverter, 40A MPPT solar charge controller and a 25A smart battery charger in one single unit:

1. 2000W 24V 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 2000VA of continuous power with a strong peak power handling capability of up to 4000VA (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 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 25A 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.

2 x Photonic Universe 100Ah Lithium Battery:

The LFP12-100 is a high-performance 100Ah 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 LFP12-100 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 batteries, a 100A 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.
