The Photonic Universe Iconica 5000W 48V Hybrid Inverter is a powerful all-in-one power management system that seamlessly integrates a 5000W pure sine wave inverter, an 80A MPPT solar charge controller, and a 60A smart mains battery charger into a single compact unit. Designed for efficient off-grid, hybrid, and backup energy systems, it can draw power from solar panels, mains electricity, a generator, or batteries - individually or in combination - to provide uninterrupted and reliable power wherever it’s needed.
With zero transfer time (0ms) Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) capability, the Iconica ensures continuous operation during mains outages, making it ideal for both home and professional use. Built-in Bluetooth connectivity provides easy wireless monitoring via the free Watchpower app, while a wide range of advanced, fully customisable settings allows complete control over your system’s performance. Whether used in remote homes, cabins, workshops, narrowboats, or IT setups that require constant uptime, this inverter delivers unmatched flexibility and dependability.
