AIMS Power PIHY9600 hybrid inverter charger and 22,114 watt hour lithium battery cabinet shown as one kit

The AIMS Power 9.6kW Hybrid Inverter and Lithium Battery Cabinet Kit Pairs 15 kW of Solar Capacity With 22,114 Watt Hours of Stored Backup Power

The AIMS Power 9.6kW Hybrid Inverter and Lithium Battery Cabinet Kit combines one AIMS Power PIHY9600 9.6 kW hybrid inverter charger with one AIMS Power 230VDC, 96Ah lithium battery cabinet that stores 22,114 watt hours. The pure sine hybrid inverter is designed to provide grid tie, battery backup and solar power management in one product, with 15 kW of solar capacity.

It's built for homeowners and installers planning a larger solar and backup system who want off-grid battery backup, net metering and load sharing without separate pieces of equipment for each job. The cabinet is the master battery, and its BMS comes pre-programmed to work with the AIMS hybrid inverter over three wires: positive, negative and CAN.


AIMS Power 9.6kW Hybrid Inverter and Lithium Battery Cabinet Kit Features

One Inverter for Grid Tie, Backup and Solar

The PIHY9600 handles grid tie, battery backup and solar power management in one product. AIMS designed it for users interested in off-grid battery backup, net metering and load sharing.

15 kW of Solar Capacity Through Direct PV Input

Solar wires straight into the inverter through a direct 3 string PV input with a wide PV input voltage range. AIMS rates this kit for 15 kW of solar capacity.

Isolated Backup Output for the Loads You Choose

An isolated emergency backup output feeds defined loads, shown on the screen as the emergency power supply (critical load). A generator input for backup 240VAC lets you bring a generator into the system.

Charging and Load Times Set Around Your Utility

Charge and load times are configurable based on local utility recommendations, so battery charging and use can follow your rate schedule. The DC input voltage is customizable for various battery types, including lithium and lead.

Outdoor Rated and Listed to UL Standards

The inverter carries an IP65 NEMA4X rating for outdoor installation. AIMS lists it to UL 1741-SA, CSA 22.2 No.107-01, UL 1998 and UL 1699B, and it meets FCC Part 15 Class B. Up to six units are stackable.

Color Screen and Connectivity

The large 5-inch color LCD shows energy flow between solar, battery, grid, generator, emergency power supply and loads, plus battery state of charge. RS485, CAN, Wi-Fi and 4G are built in for communication.

Pre-Wired Lithium Battery Cabinet

The 230VDC, 96Ah cabinet comes pre-wired for easy installation and setup. Its BMS provides cell balancing, the cabinet uses natural cooling, and AIMS says it is more efficient during high watt usage. Eye bolts for lifting are included, and the door locks with a key.


Real-World Applications

Home backup. Power defined critical loads from 22,114 watt hours of storage when the grid goes down.

Large grid-tied solar arrays. Connect up to 15 kW of solar through the inverter's direct PV input and use net metering.

Rate-based load shifting. Set charging for low-rate hours and draw on the battery when utility rates are higher.

Generator backup. Wire a 240VAC backup generator to the generator input.


Practical Comparison

Hybrid Kit Versus Separate Grid-Tie and Backup Equipment

A standard grid-tie inverter doesn't provide backup power on its own, so adding storage usually means more equipment. This kit combines grid tie, battery backup, solar input and a generator input in one inverter, matched to a battery cabinet whose BMS is programmed for it.

Lithium Battery Cabinet Versus a Lead-Acid Battery Bank

Building a 230V lead-acid bank means placing, wiring and maintaining many batteries in series. The AIMS cabinet arrives pre-wired with a BMS and cell balancing, and it needs three wires to reach the inverter.


Buyer Guidance

Match Output, Solar and Storage

The inverter delivers 9.6 kW, accepts 15 kW of solar and draws on 22,114 watt hours of storage. Decide which loads go on the isolated backup output and keep them within the inverter's output. For more storage, the cabinet is expandable to a maximum of three per inverter: one master and two slaves.

Plan the Installation Site

The inverter is rated for outdoor installation. The battery cabinet stands 68.75 inches tall including eye hooks, 33.75 inches deep and 24.75 inches wide, so plan floor space and a way to lift it with the included eye bolts.

This May Be A Good Fit If

  • You want grid tie, solar and backup in one system
  • Your solar array is up to 15 kW
  • You need 9.6 kW of inverter output
  • You want about 22 kWh of stored energy

Common Questions

What Comes in the Kit?

One AIMS Power PIHY9600 9.6 kW hybrid inverter charger and one AIMS Power 230VDC, 96Ah lithium battery cabinet with 22,114 watt hours, set up as the master battery.
