The Felicity Solar IVEM12048-II is a powerful 12kW low-voltage hybrid/off-grid inverter designed for large homes, offices, shops, commercial premises and high-demand solar installations.

It combines an inverter, MPPT solar charger and battery charger in one unit, with support for two solar PV strings, built-in Wi-Fi monitoring, generator compatibility, smart load control and parallel expansion. Felicity lists the IVEM12048-II as a 48V high-frequency off-grid inverter suitable for single-phase operation, with three-phase configuration possible using at least three units.

⚡ Key Features

  • ⚡ 12kW rated output power
  • 🔋 48V DC battery system
  • ☀️ Built-in MPPT solar charge controller
  • 🔆 Supports 2 solar PV input strings
  • ☀️ Up to 15,000W total PV input
  • 🔆 Up to 7,500W per individual PV input
  • 🔋 Maximum charging current of 240A
  • 📶 Built-in Wi-Fi for mobile monitoring
  • 🔌 Compatible with utility/grid or generator power
  • ⚙️ Generator input can be converted into a smart output port
  • ⏱️ Smart-output operating duration can be customised
  • 🔄 Automatic restart when AC power recovers
  • 🔋 Lithium battery activation function
  • ❄️ Cold-start capability
  • 🛡️ Overload protection
  • 🌡️ Over-temperature protection
  • ⚡ Short-circuit protection
  • 🔗 Supports up to 6 units in parallel
  • 🏠 Single-phase operation
  • ⚡ Three-phase configuration possible with at least 3 compatible units
  • ☀️ Intelligent feed-in function for excess PV energy

☀️ Dual MPPT Solar Input

The IVEM12048-II supports two solar-input strings and up to 15kW total PV input.

This means the solar array can be divided into:

  • ☀️ PV Input 1: Up to 7.5kW
  • ☀️ PV Input 2: Up to 7.5kW
  • 🔆 Total PV Capacity: Up to 15kW

The dual-input design provides greater flexibility where panels are installed on different roof sections or where two separate PV strings are required.

🔋 High-Power 48V Battery Charging

The inverter uses a 48V battery system and supports a maximum charging current of up to 240A, making it suitable for larger energy-storage installations.

Compatible battery systems may include:

  • 🔋 48V / 51.2V LiFePO₄ lithium batteries
  • 🔋 Lithium battery banks
  • 🔋 Gel batteries
  • 🔋 AGM batteries
  • 🔋 Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries

The inverter also includes a lithium battery activation function, helping restore compatible lithium batteries whose BMS has entered a protection or low-power state.

📶 Built-In Wi-Fi Monitoring

The built-in Wi-Fi function allows system monitoring through Felicity Solar's supported mobile application.

Users can monitor information such as:

  • ☀️ Solar generation
  • 🔋 Battery condition
  • ⚡ Inverter output
  • 🔌 Grid or generator input
  • 🔄 Charging and discharging status
  • ⚠️ Operating warnings and faults

Built-in Wi-Fi is listed as standard for the IVEM 8–12kW-II series.

🔌 Generator & Smart Load Support

The IVEM12048-II is compatible with both utility power and generator input.

A useful feature is that the generator input port can be changed into a smart output port, allowing selected loads to be controlled independently. The operating duration of this smart output can also be customised.

☀️ Feed Excess Solar Power to Loads

Felicity also includes an intelligent feed-in function designed to make use of excess solar generation rather than wasting available PV energy.

Excess solar power can be redirected toward grid-side loads, improving overall solar utilisation.

🔗 Parallel Expansion

The IVEM12048-II supports up to 6 compatible inverter units in parallel.

This makes it suitable for systems that may need more output capacity in the future.

With at least 3 compatible units, the platform can also be configured for three-phase operation. 

🛡️ Built-In Protection

The inverter includes several protection and recovery functions:

  • 🛡️ Overload protection
  • 🌡️ Over-temperature protection
  • ⚡ Short-circuit protection
  • 🔄 Automatic restart after AC recovery
  • ❄️ Cold-start function
  • 🔋 Lithium battery activation
