This Photonic Universe 1.5kW 48V Off-Grid Solar Power Kit is the perfect ready-to-use kit for off-grid applications requiring a reliable and constant source of power for household appliances or industrial equipment in areas without access to or without stable mains electricity. This kit can provide power to small and medium household or office appliances such as a fridge, TV, radio, lights, computer, hoover, microwave or a kettle, as well as certain high power appliances such as power tools or a washing machine. This may vary significantly according to the location and season.

The solar kit includes:

- Steca Solarix 1500W 48V pure sine wave power inverter 230V AC output

- Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 solar charge controller with in-built bluetooth

- PS5 48V 105Ah 5.04kWh TBB Power wall mounted Lithium Battery

- 3m 16mm² single core red and black battery cable with 60A fuse and ring terminals

- 40A circuit breaker

- 2 x ring terminals

Steca Solarix 1500W 48V pure sine wave power inverter 230V AC output:

All Steca inverters are specifically designed with power loss minimisation in mind. Innovative engineering ensures that this Steca Solarix 1500W 48V pure sine wave inverter has incredibly high power conversion efficiency which significantly outperforms most other inverters. With the development, production, and testing stages conducted in their German manufacturing facility and all products supported by a 5 year warranty, Steca products are truly "100% made in Germany" to the highest European quality standards.

One of the key energy saving features of this inverter is the 'sleep mode' personalisation function. The dial on the front of the inverter allows the user to select a threshold at which the inverter will exit standby mode and enter full power mode. For example, if 'low sensitivity' is selected, the inverter will only wake up from standby mode when a high-power load is connected. This intelligent function is unique to Steca inverters and drastically minimises any energy loss from your solar system. This unit has an incredibly low standby power consumption of 0.7W and an impressive operational efficiency of up to 94%.

This product also has the unique ability to be connected in parallel on the AC output side with up to three other Steca Solarix PI inverters, offering multiple possibilities for future system expansion. In order to achieve this, the inverters will need to be linked using the Steca PA Link parallel switch box (sold separately). Adding one more inverter increases the nominal power from 1500W to 3000W, adding two inverters increases it to 4500W etc.

This product comes with important safety features including protection from over-discharge, overload, short-circuiting, over-heating and reverse polarity. The device also features a multi-coloured LED light to show system status and alert the user of any faults. The in-built automatic fan operates only when required to prevent overheating and keep noise to a minimum.

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 solar charge controller with in-built bluetooth:

The Victron 150V 60A MPPT SmartSolar charge controller is an advanced solar charge controller designed to maximize energy harvest while ensuring optimal battery health. It features ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, which adjusts to varying sunlight and temperature conditions to optimize solar panel performance, yielding up to 30% more energy than PWM controllers and up to 10% more than slower MPPT models. The SmartSolar range also includes built-in Bluetooth for seamless monitoring and programming through the VictronConnect App on any Bluetooth-enabled device. Additionally, the controller includes a programmable relay for flexible system integration.

The SmartSolar controller excels in safety, equipped with protections against PV short circuits, reverse polarity, overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating, among others. Sophisticated fault-targeting technology signals system errors via high-intensity LED indicators. The VictronConnect App further enhances user experience by providing real-time system data, 30-day activity logs, and customizable battery charging algorithms. The app is available on mobile devices and PCs (via a VE Direct USB cable), offering comprehensive system insights and control for advanced users.

Optional add-ons, such as a plug-in LCD display and an MPPT control panel, provide additional monitoring and programming capabilities. These accessories allow users to view key charging parameters, 30-day performance data, and system faults while enabling personalized load and charging settings. Designed for diverse applications, the SmartSolar controller is robust, with IP43 water resistance and resilience to extreme temperatures, high altitudes, and harsh environments, making it a versatile and durable solution for solar energy systems.
