Photonic Universe Iconica Hybrid Pure Sine Wave Inverters - 8000W 48V
High-power hybrid inverter for smooth off-grid energy use and reliable backup supply.
Run your off-grid setup easily with the Iconica MAX 8000W hybrid inverter that combines inverter, MPPT solar controller, and powerful battery charger in one unit. It can take power from solar, mains, generator, or battery and can even run appliances directly from solar without a battery. With full UPS functionality and advanced smart settings, it keeps your power running smoothly even during outages.
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.
If you are unsure whether 8000W is enough for your appliances, please refer to the following table: Table of typical power consumption of domestic appliances.
Key functions
- 8000W 48V Pure sine wave inverter:
- Converts DC to 230V AC to power household appliances like TVs, laptops, fridges, microwaves, and lighting. Delivers 8000W continuous and 16,000VA peak for motor-driven devices, with pure sine wave output for superior efficiency and broad appliance compatibility.
- Inbuilt 8000W high solar input MPPT Solar charge controller:
- Supports two independent solar inputs up to 4000W each. The MPPT controller charges batteries at up to 120A with full protection and up to 98% efficiency, maximizing solar output. Ideal for large or dual arrays under varying conditions, with performance data shown on the LCD.
- Enhanced 120A Smart battery charger:
- Enables safe, efficient, and fast unattended battery charging (up to 120A) from mains or generator, with multi-stage charging and full overcharge protection.
- System expansion potential:
- Can be paralleled with up to 5 identical inverters for system expansion up to 48 kW, with optional 3-phase operation for industrial equipment.
Intelligent Features
The Iconica 8000W 48V hybrid inverter boasts an abundance of unique features, providing enhanced functionality over standard inverters. These include:
- Load power without a battery:
- Powers AC loads directly from solar without batteries for a highly efficient, independent system. If batteries are connected, it can simultaneously run appliances and charge them—for example, splitting 4000W solar input into 2000W for loads and 2000W for charging.
- Output source priority:
- Allows users to set AC output priorities—solar, battery, mains, or generator—automatically adjusting to conditions like low solar, low battery, or mains unavailability.
- Battery charging priority:
- Provides flexible battery charging priorities: solar-only, mains-only, or combined solar and mains charging.
- A range of highly customisable settings:
- Fully customizable via a user-friendly interface, allowing precise control of AC input, 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—navigable via up/down keys. Removable LCD can be positioned up to 20 m away for remote monitoring (RJ45 cable required, not included).
- Customisable RGB light bar:
- Programmable LED strip displays battery level or input source in customizable colors, providing at-a-glance system status.
- Advanced communication options:
- Includes PC connection and software for real-time monitoring and exporting logs to PDF/Excel. Optional Wi-Fi kits enable online access, remote monitoring, and email/push notifications for enhanced system control.
- Auto restart function:
- Automatically disconnects loads during overload or overheating and reconnects once safe.
- Generator auto-start function:
- Can automatically start a generator via dry contacts when battery voltage falls below a set level.
- Intelligent cooling design:
- Uses predictive fan control with 1–3 variable-speed fans to prevent component overheating.
