Photonic Universe Iconica Hybrid Pure Sine Wave Inverters - 5000W 48V
Advanced hybrid inverter for instant backup power and smooth off-grid energy control.
Power your home or off-grid setup with the Iconica 5000W hybrid inverter. It combines an inverter, MPPT solar controller, and smart battery charger into one easy system. With zero transfer time and full input flexibility, it keeps your power stable and always on.
Compatibility
This hybrid inverter is suitable for 48V flooded and sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid batteries with pre-defined charging programs. A user-defined battery type with numerous customisable settings is also available for charging other lead acid batteries.
Please note that in order to enable the solar charging or direct operation of the loads from solar panels, your solar array must meet the minimum MPPT input voltage requirement of the inverter of 60V (several solar panels connected in series).
If you are unsure whether 5000W is enough for your appliances, please refer to the following table: Table of typical power consumption of domestic appliances.
Key functions
- 5000W 48V Pure sine wave inverter:
- Converts DC to 230V AC to power household appliances like TVs, laptops, fridges, microwaves, and lighting. Delivers 5000W continuous and 10,000VA peak for motor-driven devices, with pure sine wave output for superior efficiency and wide appliance compatibility.
- Inbuilt 80A MPPT Solar charge controller:
- High-efficiency MPPT controller manages solar input to batteries or loads with full protection against overcharge, overheating, and reverse current, operating at up to 98% efficiency to maximize solar power output.
- Enhanced 60A Smart battery charger:
- Enables safe, efficient, and fast unattended battery charging (up to 60A) from mains or generator, with multi-stage charging and full overcharge protection.
- UPS zero transfer time:
- Provides instant 0ms transfer from mains to battery, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical IT loads like computers and servers.
- System expansion potential:
- Can be paralleled with up to 8 identical inverters for system expansion up to 45kW. Parallel connection enables optional 3-phase operation for industrial equipment, with a separate parallel kit required for each unit.
- Inbuilt Bluetooth connectivity:
- Built-in Bluetooth enables remote monitoring via the free Watchpower Android app, providing real-time access to solar, battery, and AC voltage, charging current, and battery capacity.
Intelligent Features
The Iconica 5000W 48V hybrid inverter boasts an abundance of unique features, providing enhanced functionality over standard inverters. These include:
- Output source priority:
- Intelligently lets users set AC output priorities—solar, battery, mains, or generator—adapting automatically to conditions like low solar, low battery, or mains unavailability.
- Battery charging priority:
- Offers flexible battery charging options, allowing solar-only, mains-only, or combined solar and mains charging.
- A range of highly customisable settings:
- Highly customizable via a user-friendly interface, allowing precise control of AC input range, battery type, charging current, voltage cut-offs, charging stages, auto-restart, power-saving mode, overload bypass, battery equalization, alarms, and backlight settings.
- Illuminated removable LCD screen:
- Displays key stats—status, mode, voltages, frequency, load, and charge/discharge current—easily navigated via up/down keys. Removable LCD can be positioned up to 20m away for remote monitoring (RJ45 cable required, not included).
- Advanced communication options:
- Includes PC connection with software for real-time system monitoring and exporting logs to PDF/Excel. Optional Wi-Fi kits enable online monitoring, remote access, and email/push notifications for enhanced control.
- USB On-the-Go function:
- Comes with a USB drive for easy upload and download of system data.
- Generator auto-start function:
- Can automatically start a generator via dry contacts when battery voltage falls below a set level.
- Auto restart function:
- Automatically disconnects loads during overload or overheating and reconnects once conditions are safe.
