Typical use

With 8000W rated output, the inverter can support a substantial range of household and business equipment when the system is properly sized, including:

💡 Household and commercial lighting
📺 Televisions
💻 Computers and office equipment
📡 Wi-Fi and networking systems
🧊 Refrigerators and freezers
🌀 Fans
📹 CCTV and security systems
🧺 Washing machines
🍳 Selected kitchen appliances
💧 Water pumps
🏪 Shop and business equipment
⚙️ Selected motor-driven appliances

Motor loads, pumps and compressors should always be checked for their starting surge, not just their normal running wattage.

The Felicity Solar IVEM8048 Hybrid Inverter is a powerful 8kVA / 8000W 48V solar inverter designed for large homes, offices, shops, commercial premises and off-grid solar installations.

It combines pure sine wave inversion, MPPT solar charging, battery backup and utility/grid support in one unit. Its 48V battery system and high-voltage solar input of up to 500V DC make it suitable for larger PV arrays and higher-load installations.

⚡ Key Features

⚡ 8kVA / 8000W rated output
🔋 48V DC battery system
🌊 Pure sine wave output
☀️ Built-in MPPT solar charge controller
🔆 Maximum PV input voltage up to 500V DC
🔄 Hybrid solar, battery and grid operation
📟 Integrated LCD monitoring display
🔋 Suitable for compatible lithium and lead-acid batteries
🔌 Supports utility/grid backup
⚙️ Designed for larger household and commercial loads
🏠 Wall-mounted installation
🌍 Suitable for off-grid and backup-power applications
🛡️ Integrated system protection features

☀️ High-Voltage Solar Input

The inverter supports PV input up to 500V DC, which allows several solar panels to be connected in series.

This can help with:

☀️ Longer PV strings
📉 Lower solar-side current
🔌 Reduced cable losses
🏠 Cleaner solar-array wiring
⚡ Easier integration of larger PV systems
📐 More flexible panel-string design

The combined open-circuit voltage of the connected panels must always remain below the inverter's maximum permitted PV voltage.

🔋 48V Battery System

The IVEM8048 operates on a 48V battery bank and may be paired with compatible:

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

For lithium systems, correct charging voltages, current limits and BMS communication requirements should be confirmed before installation.

Questions and answers

Before you order

What is the inverter capacity?
The Felicity IVEM8048 is rated at 8kVA / 8000W.

What battery voltage does it use?
It operates on a 48V DC battery system.

What is the maximum PV voltage?
The supplied product title indicates a maximum PV input of 500V DC.

Is it a pure sine wave inverter?
Yes, it is designed for pure sine wave AC output.

Can it work with lithium batteries?
Yes, provided the battery is compatible with a 48V system and the inverter charging parameters are configured correctly.

Can it run refrigerators and freezers?
Yes, provided their combined running load and starting surge remain within the inverter's capacity.

Can it run a water pump?
It may support suitable pumps, but the pump starting current must be checked before connection.

Can it power an entire house?
It can support a substantial household load, but actual suitability depends on which appliances are running simultaneously and the size of the battery and solar array.

Can it be used for a business?
Yes. An 8kW inverter is suitable for selected offices, shops and light-commercial applications when the total system is correctly sized.

Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. With PV voltage potentially reaching 500V DC, correct solar-string calculations, breakers, surge protection, earthing, battery wiring and cable sizing are essential.
