Charging & Output Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Solar Priority | Prioritises solar power for loads and battery charging, switching to mains/generator only when solar is insufficient. |
| AC Priority | Prioritises mains/generator power for loads and charging, using solar or battery as backup. |
| Battery Priority | Discharges battery first for loads, then switches to other sources when battery voltage is low. |
| Combined Charging | Utilises both solar and AC input to charge batteries simultaneously, up to 140A total. |
| Generator Auto-Start | Features dry contacts for automatic generator start when battery voltage is low or load is high. |
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Off-Grid Homes & Cabins | Provides reliable primary power for properties without mains electricity access. |
| Backup Power Systems | Acts as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for homes or businesses in areas with frequent power cuts. |

Built-In Protection Functions
The Iconica 5000W 48V Hybrid Inverter incorporates multiple safety features to protect both the unit and connected appliances. These include robust protection against overload, short circuit, over-temperature, battery overcharge, reverse current, battery over-voltage, and battery under-voltage. An auto-restart function ensures the inverter safely resumes operation after an overload or over-temperature event.
Common Questions
What type of batteries are compatible?
This inverter is suitable for 48V flooded, sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid batteries with pre-defined charging programs. A user-defined battery type setting is also available for other lead-acid battery types.
Can I monitor the inverter remotely?
Yes, the inverter comes with a PC connection cable and software for local monitoring. Optional Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity kits are available separately for remote monitoring via an online portal or mobile app.
Is a parallel connection kit included?
No, while the inverter has parallel capability, the parallel connection kit is sold separately. Each inverter in a parallel system requires its own kit.
Can it power appliances directly from solar without a battery?
Yes, a key feature of this Iconica inverter is its ability to power AC loads directly from solar panels, even without a connected battery bank, provided there is sufficient solar input.
Installation Notes
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar professional.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter for optimal cooling.
- Use appropriate cable sizing for battery, solar, and AC connections as per manufacturer guidelines and local regulations.
- Install necessary DC and AC over-current protection devices (fuses/breakers) for safety.
- Refer to the detailed user manual for specific wiring diagrams and setup instructions.
Before You Buy
- Verify your total power requirements (continuous and surge) to ensure the 5000W output is sufficient for your appliances.
- Confirm your battery bank is a 48V system and compatible with the inverter's charging parameters.
- Check your solar panel array's total power and voltage (Voc, Vmp) to ensure it falls within the MPPT controller's limits (Max 4000W, 145V Voc).
- Consider if you require parallel operation and remember to purchase the separate parallel connection kits.
- Review the user manual for detailed technical specifications and installation requirements.
Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements with your system design prior to purchase. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
