This listing features the 330W modules, which have a 12 year workmanship warranty, and 25 year output warranty.

Pylontech Lithium LiFePO4 batteries

Welcome to the future of a fully modular, expandable, off-grid & energy storage battery bank. Grow your battery bank as your needs demand, and also benefit from the following improvements:

  • More usable energy up to 96% can be used without adversely compromising battery life
  • More Charge / Recharge cycles 6000 or more cycles, depending on depth of discharge
  • Better constant high current Charge / Discharge performance – a 10kWh bank can handle a 10kW load, and a surge of 20kW
  • Greater charge efficiency up to 97% ! this means far less energy wasted during charging and more power available to you in less time
  • More energy stored in less space
  • Internal intelligent management means each battery module can operate to its potential, rather than performing only as well as the weakest battery

Based on the rated performance and upfront cost, the Pylontech Lithium batteries deliver an exceptional cost of ownership. The rated 6000 cycles to 80% dictates a max of around 16 cents per kWh, and typical real word usage scenarios can far exceed the guaranteed minimum.

Schneider XW Inverter

Designed for the ultimate backup power performance and product quality, the XW Pro builds on Schneider Electric’s extensive track record in solar + storage applications. The XW Pro includes enhanced controls for evolving utility interconnect requirements, as well as BMS integration with compatible Li-ion batteries. 6.8kW continuous power, 8.5kW of power for 30 minutes, 12kW of power for 60 seconds.

Schneider Conext 600/100 Charge Controller

Installers love the 600v open circuit voltage charge controller meaning that you can string more panels together and hence save a lot of time on wiring up whilst up on the roof. Suitable for 48v and 24v systems, pairs perfectly with the XW Pro inverter.

System Performance

Solar array performance varies with location, the annual daily average in Australia is between 4 to 5 hours equivalent of full power from the array per day, with more in summer and less in winter. A large solar PV array design principle reduces the amount of time the batteries will be low on charge, which maximises their life expectancy & provides you with far more reliable power.

Average daily input figures for the 17.16kW solar array:

Typical worst month ~ 48kWh per day | Typical best month ~ 100kWh per day
