Achieve Energy Independence with Residential Grid-backup Inverter-Charger and AGM Battery Storage Installing home battery storage offers the reassurance that you can maintain power during a grid outage. In the event of a power blackout, you can use the stored energy in your home batteries to power essential appliances (a Critical Load Panel may be required). When the grid fails, the battery backup circuit activates automatically, provided you have sufficient battery power. All Grid-backup batteries are equipped with a built-in Transfer Switch. This feature activates instantly during a grid outage, switching your Critical Load Panel circuit to the backup circuit automatically, ensuring your essential appliances continue to run without interruption. It's so seamless you might not even realise a blackout occurred. The battery can be charged from the grid at a chosen time, such as at night when electricity is cheapest. The stored power can then be used during peak times (usually morning and evening) when electricity rates are highest. The charging and discharging of the battery are fully programmable and automated, so once set up, you don’t need to do anything. This can significantly reduce your electricity bills.

The 8,400/11,040Wh battery capacity typically lasts about 6.7 or 8.8 hours, respectively, when powering a 1000W appliance from 100% to 20% discharge. DC TO AC INVERTER 1. WHAT DOES A POWER INVERTER DO? A power inverter converts battery power into mains power, changing 48V direct current (DC) into 230V alternating current (AC). This 230V AC is the standard power supplied to homes and is needed by most household appliances like lights, TVs, and fridges. There are two main types of inverters: Off-grid inverters: Work independently and require batteries (used in caravans, boats, or places without mains power). On-grid or grid-tie inverters: Need mains power to function (they are used in household solar systems, directly taking input from solar panels) The 8.4/11.0kWh ESS uses the ICONICA 6000W 48V Hybrid Pure Sine Wave Inverter, which can create a home 230V grid. 2. WHAT TYPE OF INVERTER IS USED IN THE 8.4/11.0KWH ESS? The 8.4/11.0kWh ESS uses a pure sine wave inverter rated at 6000W. This inverter provides up to 6000W output in a smooth sine wave, similar to utility-supplied power. It smoothly switches polarity between power cables, which is essential for alternating current. 3.
