Owner’s manual

Converts solar energy into usable electricity, manages the flow of energy between solar panels, batteries, and the electrical grid, and provides backup power during outages.

Features

Provides Reliable, Independent Power for Home or Business
This pure sine wave hybrid inverter/charger intelligently manages power coming from your solar panels, batteries, and the utility grid all at the same time. It can allow for grid-tied operation and efficiently converts DC power from solar panels into AC power for immediate use or for energy storage in batteries, and vice versa. It converts stored power from any 24V DC battery source to network-grade AC power for sensitive electronics, including computers and laptops, network and audio/video equipment or office and household appliances. Recommended for rural and residential environments, telecommunications, gas and oil exploration, mining, forestry and other industries with remote sites. The APSWX2K24VMPPT is an excellent solution for energy savings in grid-tied and off-grid environments.

Optimal Performance of The Solar Energy System
With built-in MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) the APSWX2K24VMPPT tracks and adjusts to the optimal point of power generation, resulting in increased energy production from the solar panels. This also improves the overall efficiency of the solar system, even in low-light conditions, resulting in consistent energy production throughout the day.

Priority Source Selection Allows Automatic Switching to Optimal Power Sources
The APSWX2K24VMPPT uses priority source selection to alternate between utility and solar power when charging batteries, depending on which is optimal at that time. When powering a 230V connected load, the inverter will alternate between utility and battery power. – An automatic overload detector, cooling fan and resettable AC circuit breakers help protect the unit from damage.

Works as an Inverter, Standalone Power Source or UPS System
An automatic line-to-battery transfer switch and built-in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controller allow the APSWX2K24VMPPT to function as an inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS in environments with weak or unreliable solar or utility power. It delivers 2000W of continuous power and 4000W of peak power to handle high power draw during equipment startup or cycling. When used as a UPS, the APSWX2K24VMPPT responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output.

Input Terminals Allow Hardwired Installation

High-current DC input terminals allow hardwired connection to an external energy storage battery system. Designed for easy installation in rural or remote sites including residential, leisure, gas/oil and forestry the APSWX2K24VMPPT keeps the battery charged via the built-in AC and solar hybrid charging system while simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment. Pure sine wave power has less electrical noise and static for a clean signal that won’t damage equipment.

Enhanced Management and Safety Features
The front control panel with LCD provides real-time readout of all system functions and robust configuration options to meet the needs of your application. An on/off switch allows instant one-touch control over connected devices. A wired remote control is included, which lets you control the APSWX2K24VMPPT from up to 10 meters away. Five-way fault protection (high voltage, overload, overheat, short circuit, locked fan), an audible alarm and LEDs help increase operational safety.

Compatible with Photovoltaic Solar Panels
This pure sine wave solar inverter/charger works with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, including single-crystalline, poly-crystalline with Class A rating and CIGS. For optimal performance, use “deep cycle” batteries with the APSWX2K24VMPPT, preferably wet-cell (vented), gel-cell/absorbed glass mat (sealed) or Lithium batteries.
