1. Utangulizi
The LV6048 is a 6000W/48Vdc grid-optional solar inverter designed for power systems in regions utilizing 110/120V single phase, 208V/240V split phase, or 208V 3-phase loads. This model is suitable for off-grid applications in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and other regions where 120V/240V split phase power is standard, eliminating the need for an external step-down transformer.
Each unit includes two dual 80A max MPPT solar chargers and supports up to three units in parallel (parallel kit built-in). The inverter offers high programmability via its LCD menu and supports both 50Hz and 60Hz operation, as well as dual AC or DC priority modes. It also features a generator starter dry contact and comes with the WatchPower monitoring program.
