The solar power set "PV Power IV" offers a stand-alone 230V AC power supply at fair costs and top quality. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, in particular for remote summer houses and weekend homes. You may connect AC consumers up to 1000W continuous load and 2800W short-term peak load. The excellent overload capability as well as the true sine wave of the inverter guarantee a safe and trouble-free operation of all consumers such as lighting, TV, video/DVD, radio, water pump, electric tools, fan, cooling box, alarm systems etc.

Features at a glance!

The set consists of 1x inverter Studer AJ1300S with 24V system voltage and built-in solar charge regulator, 2x 130 watt peak polycrystalline solar module Kyocera KD135GH-2PU incl. pitched roof mounting system, 2x 120 amp-hour maintenance-free solar battery Banner SBV 12-120 as well as the entire pre-fabricated cabling for the solar modules and batteries.

Due to the inverter's built-in solar charge regulator of 25A (short circuit current) charging current at 24V, the system may at all times be upgraded by additional solar modules. A total of 6 solar modules type Kyocera KD135GH-2PU (135Wp) with an overall ouput of 810Wp may be installed. Likewise, the storage capacity may even be upgraded by additional batteries of the same make.

Functional Principle

The solar set "PV Power IV" consists of three main components: inverter/solar charger, solar modules and batteries.

The charge regulator takes care that the energy produced by the solar modules is stored in the batteries. It protects the battery bank against harmful overload and, in combination with an intelligent charging algorithm, it guarantees a long lifetime of the batteries.

The inverter transforms the solar energy stored in the battery bank into 230V AC power. It also prevents the batteries from beeing deep discharged by disconnecting consumer loads in case of a low battery level.

As the solar energy is buffered in the battery, power is available at all times, even at night or during cloudy weather.

Each single component of the power set matches up the other ones perfectly. The integration of inverter and charge regulator, the tailored solar mounting system as well as the pre-fabricated cabling with plug socket reduce installation work to a minimum.

A subsequent upgrading of the set is possible at any time without having to replace any of the existing components!

Energy Available

The actual energy made available by the "PV Power Set IV" depends on the geographic location of the installation site. In Central Europe, a constant solar power supply throughout the year is not possible, because of the poor insolation during winter months. Therefore it is recommended to reduce the consumption during these months. In Southern Europe, the seasonal variations are less distinct and, depending on the site of installation, the energy requirement may be covered entirely by solar power.

Below, please find some examples of the daily energy that may be available:

Average daily available energy (Central Europe)

800Wh (ø 4.5kWh/m²/day)

360Wh (ø 2kWh/m²/day)

150Wh (ø 0.8kWh/m²/day)

Average daily available energy (Southern Europe)

1100Wh (ø 6kWh/m²/day)

715Wh (ø 4kWh/m²/day)

450Wh (ø 2.5kWh/m²/day)

	Summer (Apr.-Sept.)		Winter (Oct.-Mar.)		Month with lowest insolation (Dec.)

In case the energy production exceeds the consumption (e.g. weekend application), excess solar power will be stored in the battery. Once the battery is fully charged the following amount of energy is available:

In any case, before buying this system, check carefully if your requirements are met, in particular if the power set matches the projected consumer profile. Please, also refer to our FAQs for further information or contact us directly.

Optional Accessories / Upgrades

The following accessories and upgrades are available for this power set. Be sure to choose each desired option when ordering!

Remote Control JT8

The remote control JT8 allows to control remotely (ON/OFF) an inverter of the AJ serie. One LED displays the state of the system (ON / Standby / Temporary off). Supplied with 5m cable.

Banner Gel batteries (SBG) instead of AGM (SBV)

Gel batteries have a slightly higher cycle lifetime than AGM batteries and are therefore more suitable for applications which exceed standard weekend operation.
