Charging & Output Modes
The Iconica 5000W 48V Hybrid Inverter intelligently manages multiple power sources to provide continuous and reliable electricity. It can draw power from solar panels, mains electricity, a generator, or a connected battery bank, either individually or in combination.
Its Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) function ensures a seamless 0ms transfer from mains to battery mode in the event of a power cut, safeguarding critical loads. For solar-rich environments, the inverter can power AC appliances directly from solar panels without needing a battery, maximising efficiency and reducing reliance on grid or stored energy.
Users can customise output source priority and battery charging priority settings to optimise energy usage according to specific needs, such as prioritising solar, battery, or mains power. The parallel capability allows for significant system expansion, enabling up to 8 identical inverters to work together for increased power output or to create a three-phase system for industrial applications.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Off-Grid Homes & Cabins | Provides reliable primary power in locations without mains electricity access. |
| Backup Power Systems | Ensures continuous power for essential loads during grid outages with instant transfer. |
| Mobile & Marine Installations | Suitable for caravans, motorhomes, narrowboats, and yachts requiring stable AC power. |
| Commercial & IT Setups | Offers dependable power for small businesses or IT systems requiring constant uptime. |

Common Questions
What does 'hybrid' mean for this inverter?
A hybrid inverter can manage multiple power inputs simultaneously, such as solar, battery, and mains/generator. This Iconica model intelligently combines these sources to provide continuous AC power, optimising energy flow based on your configured priorities.
Can I expand my system later with this inverter?
Yes, this Iconica inverter features parallel capability, allowing you to connect up to 8 identical units to increase your total power output or configure a three-phase system. A parallel connection kit is required for each additional inverter.
Is a battery bank always necessary for operation?
No, a unique feature of this Iconica hybrid inverter is its ability to power AC loads directly from solar panels without a connected battery bank. This is ideal for applications where direct solar utilisation is preferred.
How can I monitor my system's performance?
The inverter comes with a PC connection cable and software CD for detailed monitoring and customisation of settings. Optional Wi-Fi or 3G kits are available for remote monitoring capabilities.
Installation Notes
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or solar professional to ensure safety and compliance.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
- Verify correct wiring and grounding procedures as detailed in the user manual.
- Consider the inverter's fan noise if installing in a quiet living area, as it may not be suitable for locations requiring absolute silence.
- If connecting in parallel, ensure all inverters are identical and use the appropriate parallel connection kits (sold separately).
Before You Buy
- Confirm your battery bank voltage is 48V. This inverter is compatible with 48V flooded, AGM, and GEL lead-acid batteries, with customisable settings for other lead-acid types.
- Calculate your total load requirements to ensure the 5000W continuous output and 10,000VA surge power meet your needs.
- Verify your solar array's total power and voltage are within the inverter's limits (Max 6000W solar input, 450V DC open circuit voltage, 120-430V DC MPPT operating range).
- Review local electrical regulations and standards for off-grid or hybrid system installations.
- A detailed user manual and PC software are included for setup and operation.
Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing system components before purchase. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
