How the system works

The dual MPPT design lets two independent solar strings connect to the inverter at once. The kit covers one MPPT input at 4.3kW, and a second PV string of up to 4kW can be added later without swapping hardware. The AGM/GEL battery bank uses sealed valve-regulated lead-acid technology, so there is no electrolyte checking or topping up, and it can be expanded with an identical set of 8 batteries. Batteries arrive filled and charged.

Grid notification and compliance

Because this off-grid solar kit has no grid export, it does not require a G98 or G99 notification to the DNO, which simplifies approval compared with grid-tied systems. All electrical work must still meet IET Wiring Regulations and be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Applications

• Domestic off-grid properties and rural buildings
• Farm and agricultural off-grid power
• Remote site power for workshops, cabins and outbuildings
• Generator-backup off-grid systems

Installation and safety notes

This kit must be installed by a qualified electrician. Battery connections, DC fusing, AC output wiring, earthing and ventilation must follow IET Wiring Regulations and the component manufacturers' installation guidelines. DIY installation of high-current DC or inverter systems is not recommended.
