The Iconica 5000VA 24V Hybrid Inverter intelligently combines the functions of a 5000VA pure sine wave inverter, an 80A MPPT solar charge controller, and a 60A smart battery charger in one portable unit. This model can accept input from solar panels, mains electricity, a generator, or a battery – either from a single source or a combination of inputs. Alongside its hybrid capability, the inverter features advanced communication functions and a menu filled with highly customisable settings.
This unit provides the perfect power solution for off-grid applications with limited or no access to mains electricity. Its Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) capability makes it ideal for areas where the power supply is unreliable, intermittent, or costly to maintain. The inverter is well suited for both stationary and mobile off-grid installations, such as remote properties, holiday homes, huts, cabins, narrowboats, and yachts, as well as for customers seeking to reduce their mains electricity usage or to create a reliable back-up system in locations affected by frequent power cuts.
Key Functions
5000VA 24V Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Converts DC current into 230V AC mains electricity to run household appliances such as TVs, laptops, fridges, microwaves, and lighting. It can deliver 5000VA of continuous power with a peak handling capability of up to 10,000VA, suitable for starting powerful appliances with electric motors such as pumps, vacuum cleaners, and power tools. The pure sine wave output ensures superior efficiency and compatibility with a wider range of appliances compared to modified sine wave inverters.
Inbuilt 80A MPPT Solar Charge Controller
Regulates input from solar panels to the batteries, incorporating full protection against overcharge, overheating, and reverse current. The advanced MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology extracts the maximum possible output from the solar array and operates at up to 98% efficiency. This inverter is suitable for systems with large or powerful solar arrays, supporting a maximum solar input of 2000W. Performance data for the solar array is clearly displayed on the LCD screen.
Enhanced 60A Smart Battery Charger
Allows safe, efficient, and fast (up to 60A) unattended charging of a battery from a mains power source or generator. It includes full overcharge protection and multiple charging stages for reliable battery management.
System Expansion Potential
This inverter can be connected in parallel with up to eight additional identical units, offering the potential for large-scale system expansion with a combined capacity of up to 45kVA. Once connected in parallel, the system can also operate in three-phase configuration, ideal for powering industrial-grade equipment and machinery. Each inverter connected in the system requires a parallel connection kit (sold separately).
Additional Intelligent Features
- Output source priority: Allows the user to set preferences for which power source (solar, battery, mains, or generator) supplies the AC load output. This feature provides flexibility for different system conditions, such as low solar power, low battery voltage, or unavailable mains supply.
- Battery charging priority: Enables the user to select the preferred charging source - solar power only, solar plus mains, or mains only.
- Customisable settings: Parameters can be adjusted to a precise degree via the user-friendly interface. Options include AC input range, battery type, maximum charging current, specific high/low voltage disconnect points (and preferred charging source upon reconnection), charging stage duration and voltage, auto-restart, power-saving mode, overload bypass, and battery equalisation stage. Additional settings include control over audible alarms and LCD backlight brightness.
- Illuminated LCD screen: Displays system information such as status and mode, input/output voltage, frequency, battery voltage, load power, percentage, and charge or discharge current.
- Advanced communication options: Supplied with a PC connection cable and PC software CD for convenient viewing of data including solar, battery, and AC voltage, charging current, and battery capacity. Detailed data logs can be viewed and exported to PDF or Excel. The inverter can also send data to an online user portal using a Wi-Fi connection kit (sold separately), enabling remote system monitoring and email status updates.
- Auto restart function: Automatically disconnects loads in case of overload or overheating and reconnects once safe conditions are detected.
- Generator auto-start function: If connected to a generator via dry contacts, the inverter can automatically start the generator when the battery voltage drops below a certain level.
- Intelligent cooling design: Utilises predictive fan logic based on temperature and performance (one or two fans operating at variable speeds) to prevent component overheating.
What's In The Box: 1x hybrid inverter unit, 1x user manual, 1x communication cable, 1x software CD.
Compatibility
This hybrid inverter is suitable for 24V flooded and sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid batteries, with predefined charging programs. A user-defined battery type with customisable settings is also available for charging other lead-acid battery configurations.
