Overview

One inverter for solar, battery and grid.

The Apium SUN-12K-SG06LP1-EU-CM3 is a 12 kW single-phase hybrid inverter. It takes up to 19,200 W of solar on 3 MPP trackers, charges and discharges a 48 V lead-acid or lithium battery at up to 250 A, and manages the grid connection.

It can couple to an existing solar system, run in parallel with other units for larger systems, and store energy from a diesel generator. The colour touch display and IP65 enclosure suit indoor or outdoor installation.

All figures from the Apium SG06LP1 7–12 kW datasheet.
