This high-quality 440W black frame solar panel from Sharp, a global leader with over 60 years of solar expertise, offers reliable and efficient energy solutions. Its advanced TOPCon solar cells provide superior efficiency, better performance in high temperatures, and long-term durability, while half-cut cell construction minimizes internal losses and enhances shaded condition performance. Designed for diverse applications, including grid-tie and off-grid systems, it features an IP68-rated waterproof build, ensuring resilience in harsh environments and simple integration with MC4-compatible connectors.

8kW 48V TBB Power Tyrann inverter charger:

The TBB Tyrann is a robust, transformer-based inverter charger designed for backup, off-grid, and energy storage applications. This model features a programmable smart port, allowing it to function as either a generator input or secondary AC output to enhance load flexibility. This inverter is ideal for stationary and mobile setups, such as off-grid homes, cabins, or remote properties. The Tyrann supports peak shaving, time-of-use optimization, and grid feed-in for utility credits. With an ultra-fast 0ms transfer to battery power, it ensures seamless operation during outages, making it perfect for installations requiring energy independence and reliability.

Key Features:

1. Ultra-fast 0ms transfer to battery power: The Tyrann’s instant transfer speed guarantees uninterrupted power, seamlessly switching to battery power in zero milliseconds to keep connected devices running smoothly without any delay.

2. High-surge pure sine wave inverter: Delivers stable 230V AC output with high surge capacity, providing the pure sine wave quality required for sensitive electronics and high-demand appliances.

3. Enhanced flexibility: The Tyrann can be configured in parallel with up to 3 units in singles phase applications, or up to 9 units in three-phase applications, achieving a maximum output of 72kVA. It features a built-in smart port for generator input or a second AC output, which enhances system versatility.

4. ESS and grid-tie capabilities: The Tyrann inverter seamlessly integrates with the E4 LCD Monitor and IC-METER, unlocking advanced Energy Storage System (ESS) and grid-tie functionalities. This allows for real-time monitoring, efficient energy management, and smooth interaction with the grid, ensuring a versatile and future-ready power solution.

5. 50A transfer switch: The AC transfer switch inside the Tyrann is rated up to 50A, allowing for up to 11.5kW of power to be passed through to the loads from the AC input when the inverter is in bypass.

For users prioritizing reliability and ultra-fast power transfer, the Tyrann inverter offers a rugged, adaptable power solution for critical applications and off-grid energy systems.

30A Morningstar TriStar™ MPPT solar charge controller:
