The Iconica 3000W 24V Hybrid Inverter intelligently combines the functions of a 3000W pure sine wave inverter, a 60A MPPT solar charge controller, and a 60A smart battery charger in one compact 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. In addition to its hybrid capability, this innovative inverter features zero transfer time, enabling instant 0ms transfer from mains to battery mode when mains power is interrupted. It also includes advanced communication functions, such as inbuilt Bluetooth, and offers a wide menu of highly customisable settings.
This system is the ideal solution for off-grid applications where mains electricity is limited or unavailable. Its zero transfer time UPS function makes it perfect for situations where power supply is unreliable, intermittent, or expensive to maintain. The inverter is suitable for both stationary and mobile off-grid installations, including remote properties, holiday homes, huts, cabins, narrowboats, and yachts, as well as for IT systems requiring uninterrupted power. It is equally suited for customers looking to reduce mains electricity consumption or to establish a dependable backup system in areas affected by frequent power cuts.
Key Functions
3000W 24V Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Converts DC power into 230V AC mains electricity to run household and office appliances such as TVs, laptops, fridges, microwaves, and lighting. The inverter provides 3000W of continuous power with a peak capability of up to 6000VA, ideal for starting appliances with electric motors such as pumps, vacuum cleaners, and power tools. As a pure sine wave inverter, it offers higher efficiency and wider appliance compatibility than modified sine wave types.
Inbuilt 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller
A high-efficiency MPPT controller regulates input from the solar panels to the batteries or load, with a complete range of safety protections including overcharge, overheating, and reverse-current protection. The controller operates at up to 98% efficiency to extract the maximum power from the solar array.
Enhanced 60A Smart Battery Charger
Allows safe, efficient, and fast (up to 60A) unattended charging of a battery from a mains supply or generator. The charger includes full overcharge protection and multiple charging stages.
UPS Zero Transfer Time
Provides instant 0ms transfer from mains to battery mode when mains power is interrupted (typical transfer time for other inverters is 15–20ms). This improved UPS functionality enables continuous operation for critical IT loads such as computers and servers during power failures.
System Expansion Potential
Can be connected in parallel with up to eight additional identical units, offering potential system expansion to a total of 27kW power handling capability. Once connected in parallel, the inverters can also be configured for three-phase operation, suitable for powering industrial-grade equipment and machinery. Each inverter connected in the system requires a parallel connection kit (sold separately).
Inbuilt Bluetooth Connectivity
The integrated Bluetooth function allows remote monitoring through the Watchpower mobile app, a free Android application. After downloading the app, the user can pair their device with the inverter to access information such as solar, battery, and AC voltage, charging current, and battery capacity.
Additional Intelligent Features
The Iconica 3000W 24V Hybrid Inverter offers a wide range of advanced functions and user-configurable settings, including:
- Output source priority: Lets the user set which energy source (solar, battery, mains, or generator) powers the AC load, with options for different operating conditions such as low solar input or battery voltage.
- Battery charging priority: Allows selection of charging source preferences, including solar-only, solar plus mains, or mains-only modes.
- Customisable parameters: Through the user-friendly interface, the operator can adjust AC input range, battery type, maximum charging current, voltage disconnect and reconnection points, charging stage duration and voltage, auto-restart options, power-saving mode, overload bypass, and battery equalisation stage. Settings for audible alarms and LCD backlight are also available.
- Illuminated removable LCD screen: Displays key information including status and mode, input/output voltage, frequency, battery voltage, load percentage, and charge/discharge current. The display is removable and can be positioned up to 20m away from the inverter for remote monitoring (requires an additional RJ45 cable, not included).
- Advanced communication options: Supplied with a PC connection cable and software CD for convenient viewing of key data such as solar, battery, and AC voltage, charging current, and battery capacity. Data logs can be viewed and exported to PDF or Excel. The inverter can also connect to an online user portal via an optional Wi-Fi connection kit or mobile app Wi-Fi kit (sold separately), enabling remote monitoring and email or push-notification updates.
- USB On-the-Go function: Supplied with a USB drive that allows system data to be uploaded or downloaded.
- Generator auto-start function: If connected to a generator via dry contacts, the inverter can automatically start the generator when the battery voltage falls below a set level.
- Auto restart function: Automatically disconnects the load in cases of overload or overheating, and reconnects when safe operating conditions are restored.
What's In The Box: 1x 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 multiple customisable settings is also available for charging other lead-acid battery types.
To enable solar charging or direct load operation from solar panels, the connected solar array must meet the inverter’s minimum MPPT input voltage of 30V (achieved by connecting several solar panels in series).
