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:

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.

Please note: due to our warehouse arrangements, the kit accessories may be shipped from a different warehouse to the solar panels, hybrid inverter, and battery bank, and therefore delivered in a separate package.

The panels and batteries are covered by a 1 year warranty provided by Photonic Universe. In the unlikely event that a defect is found and confirmed during this period, we guarantee that we will repair or replace defective items (at our discretion). The hybrid inverter is covered by a 1 year manufacturer warranty. For more information please refer to our Terms and Conditions.

In addition, solar cells are guaranteed to produce at least 90% of nominal power in 10 years after purchase and at least 80% of nominal power in 25 years after purchase. This warranty is provided by the manufacturer of solar cells.
