  • Small offices
  • Shops and kiosks
  • CCTV and security systems
  • Internet and communication equipment
  • Off-grid lighting systems
  • Areas with frequent grid interruptions
Typical use

The pure sine wave output makes the inverter suitable for sensitive electronics and common household loads such as:

  • 💡 LED lights
  • 📺 Television
  • 📡 Wi-Fi router
  • 💻 Laptop and desktop computer
  • 🌀 Fans
  • 📹 CCTV equipment
  • 📱 Phone chargers
  • 🖨️ Small office equipment
  • 🔊 Audio equipment

The total continuous load should remain within the inverter’s 1000W rated output.

The Felicity Solar IVCM1012 Hybrid Inverter is a compact 1kVA / 1000W pure sine wave inverter designed for small residential solar systems, backup power, shops, offices and essential household loads.

It operates on a 12V battery system and combines inverter, solar MPPT charging and AC charging functions in one unit. With support for up to 80A charging current and a 15–90V DC MPPT range, it provides flexible solar charging for small off-grid and backup installations.

⚡ Key Features

  • 1kVA / 1000W rated output
  • 12V DC battery system
  • Pure sine wave AC output
  • Built-in MPPT solar charger
  • Maximum solar charging current of 80A
  • Maximum AC charging current of 80A
  • Maximum combined charging current of 80A
  • Wide selectable AC input voltage range
  • Automatic 50Hz / 60Hz frequency sensing
  • Fast transfer time for backup applications
  • Peak efficiency of over 95%
  • Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 105V DC
  • MPPT operating range of 15–90V DC
  • Suitable for solar, grid and battery-powered systems

☀️ MPPT Solar Charging

The built-in MPPT controller allows the inverter to harvest solar energy efficiently from compatible PV panels.

The solar charging section supports:

  • Up to 1000W of PV input
  • MPPT voltage range of 15–90V DC
  • Maximum PV circuit voltage of 105V DC
  • Solar charging current up to 80A

The solar array must be configured so the PV voltage remains within the inverter’s operating limits.

🔋 12V Battery System

The IVCM1012 is designed for a 12V battery bank.

It can be used with compatible:

  • LiFePO₄ lithium batteries
  • Gel batteries
  • AGM batteries
  • Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries

Correct charging settings must be selected for the battery chemistry being used.

🔄 Fast Transfer Time

When grid power fails, the inverter can switch to battery backup quickly.

  • UPS mode: approximately 10ms
  • Appliance mode: approximately 20ms

This helps reduce interruptions to computers, routers, TVs and other compatible loads.

✅ Benefits

  • Combines inverter and solar charging in one unit
  • Pure sine wave output
  • MPPT solar charging
  • Supports both solar and grid charging
  • Compact installation
  • High charging current
  • Wide AC input range
  • Efficient operation
  • Suitable for small backup and off-grid systems

⚠️ Solar Panel Configuration

The PV array must not exceed the inverter’s:

  • 105V DC maximum PV circuit voltage
  • 15–90V DC MPPT operating range
  • 1000W rated PV input

Panel voltage should be calculated using the panels’ Voc and Vmp specifications, especially when panels are connected in series.

Questions and answers

Before you order

What is the output power of the inverter?
It is rated at 1kVA / 1000W.

What battery voltage does it require?
It uses a 12V battery system.

Does it have an MPPT solar charger?
Yes. It includes an MPPT solar charger with a 15–90V DC operating range.

How much solar can I connect?
The stated PV rating is approximately 1000W, provided the panel voltage remains within the specified MPPT and maximum PV voltage limits.

What is the maximum charging current?
The maximum stated charging current is 80A.

Is the output pure sine wave?
Yes. It provides a pure sine wave output.

Can it charge batteries from the grid?
