- 🔆 High-voltage PV input up to 500V DC
- 📈 MPPT tracking efficiency up to 99.9%
- 🔋 Supports lithium and lead-acid batteries
- 🔗 Lithium BMS communication support
- ⛽ Dedicated generator input
- 🔄 AC-coupling support
- ⏰ Time-slot / peak-valley energy-management function
- 💧 IP65 protection rating

- ⏱️ Approx. 10ms transfer time
- 🔗 Parallel system expansion supported
- 📶 Optional Wi-Fi / GPRS communication on supported configuration
- 🛡️ Multiple hardware and software protection functions
☀️ Dual MPPT Solar Input
The dual MPPT design allows the solar array to be split into two independent strings.
This is useful when:
- ☀️ Panels face different directions
- 🏠 Panels are installed on separate roof sections
- 🌤️ One section experiences different shading conditions
- 🔌 The system requires more flexible string configuration
Independent MPPT tracking allows each solar input to operate closer to its own optimum power point.
🔋 48V Battery Compatibility
The inverter is designed for compatible 48V-class battery systems, including:
- 🔋 48V / 51.2V LiFePO₄ lithium batteries
- 🔋 Compatible lithium-ion batteries
- 🔋 Gel battery banks
- 🔋 AGM batteries
- 🔋 Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries
SRNE's corresponding 8–12kW platform supports CAN and RS485 battery communication, allowing compatible lithium battery BMS systems to exchange operating information with the inverter.
⛽ Dedicated Generator Support
The inverter includes support for generator input, making it useful for installations where solar and grid power may not always be sufficient.
A generator can provide:
- 🔋 Emergency battery charging
- ⚡ Backup during prolonged cloudy weather
- 🏠 Additional support during extended grid outages
- 🔌 Power when battery capacity becomes low
🔄 AC Coupling Support
AC coupling allows the inverter to work more flexibly with certain existing solar installations, including compatible grid-tied systems.
This can be useful when upgrading or expanding an existing solar installation rather than replacing the entire system.
💧 IP65 Protection
The IP65 enclosure rating provides protection against dust and water jets, making the inverter more suitable for demanding installation environments than standard indoor-only units.
It should still be installed according to the manufacturer's clearance, ventilation and mounting requirements.
