Charging & Output Modes
The Iconica 5500W Hybrid Inverter offers three primary operating modes to suit various energy requirements and grid conditions:
- 100% Grid-Tie: Solar energy is primarily fed back to the national grid, helping to reduce electricity bills.
- Grid-Tie with Battery Backup: Solar power can be used to feed the grid, power local loads, and charge the battery bank. During mains power failures or peak tariff times, the battery provides backup power. Users can configure priorities for PV energy supply, charging sources, and load supply.
- 100% Off-Grid: Solar energy powers local loads and charges batteries without any feed-in to the grid. This mode is ideal for remote properties or achieving complete energy independence.
Advanced settings allow for customisation of AC input range, battery type, maximum charging current, and output source priority (Solar, Battery, Mains, or Generator) to optimise system performance for specific needs.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Residential Solar Systems | Maximise self-consumption, reduce electricity bills, and provide reliable backup power for homes. |
| Off-Grid Properties | Ideal for remote cabins, holiday homes, or properties without reliable grid access. |
| Commercial Backup Systems | Ensures continuous operation for critical business loads during power interruptions. |
| Mobile & Marine Installations | Suitable for large campervans, narrowboats, and yachts requiring robust and flexible power. |
Built-In Protection Functions
This Iconica inverter incorporates multiple safety features for reliable operation and system longevity. These include comprehensive overcharge protection for batteries • overload protection • short circuit protection • over-temperature protection • battery low/high voltage alarms • and an auto-restart function after overload or overheating conditions.
Common Questions
Can this inverter operate without batteries?
Yes, the Iconica 5500W Hybrid Inverter supports battery-free operation, allowing it to power AC loads directly from solar panels when sufficient solar input is available.
What battery types are compatible?
This inverter is compatible with 48V flooded, sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid, and Lithium batteries. It includes pre-defined charging programs for these types, along with a user-defined option for custom settings.
Can I expand my system with multiple inverters?
Yes, the Iconica 5500W Hybrid Inverter supports parallel connection, allowing you to link up to 8 units to increase your overall power output and system capacity.
Does it have remote monitoring capabilities?
Yes, the inverter features inbuilt Wi-Fi connectivity for remote monitoring via a mobile app (Watchpower) and is supplied with PC software and a USB cable for detailed system management.
Installation Notes
- Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or solar professional.
- Ensure proper grounding and adhere to all local electrical regulations and safety standards.
- Mount the inverter on a solid, non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Verify correct battery and solar panel polarity before making connections.
- Refer to the detailed user manual for specific wiring diagrams and setup instructions.
Before You Buy
- Confirm your battery bank is a 48V system and compatible with the inverter's charging parameters.
- Calculate your total solar array power and voltage to ensure it falls within the inverter's 6500W / 500V / 120-450V MPPT range.
- Assess your peak and continuous load requirements to ensure the 5500W continuous / 11000VA surge capacity is sufficient.
- Consider your intended operating mode (grid-tie, off-grid, or hybrid) and ensure it aligns with your energy goals.
- Consult with a qualified installer for system design and component selection.
Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements for your specific application before purchase. This product is covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
