The AIMS Power Armadillo Expedition Solar Kit (ECARMADILLO) is a complete solar power system built around AIMS's onboard all-in-one solar generator. One enclosure holds a 5.58 kWh lithium battery bank, a 3000 watt pure sine inverter charger, integrated 50 amp transfer switching and multiple charging inputs. AIMS adds four 200W N-type solar panels, panel brackets, a solar fuse, PV wire and an MC4 type entry gland.
AIMS designed the Armadillo for installers and owners who need high-capacity energy for backup power, remote work sites, mobile operations and demanding off-grid use. It's built for fixed installations, such as an RV compartment or a service truck, and puts performance and long-term capability ahead of lightweight portability.
The all-in-one unit combines lithium battery storage, the inverter charger, transfer capability, charging inputs and system controls in a single enclosure. AIMS notes that this removes much of the wiring, fusing and component mounting a traditional multi-component system needs, for a cleaner and more organized installation.
Four 200W N-type monocrystalline solar panels give the kit 800 watts of solar. Each panel measures 49.2 x 30.12 x 1.18 in and has MC4 type connectors on 31.5 in leads. The all-in-one unit has four PV inputs, each with its own circuit breaker.
The built-in 5.58 kWh lithium battery bank handles large appliances, tools, electronics, pumps and essential household devices. Unlike many fixed-capacity solar generators, the Armadillo accepts up to eight additional 420Ah batteries through its battery expansion port, for more than 50 kWh of total storage.
The integrated 3000 watt pure sine inverter charger, with 50 amp transfer switching, delivers dependable AC power for appliances, tools, electronics and critical systems. Status LEDs show line mode, inverter mode, charging state, overload and over-temperature conditions.
Recharge the system from solar, a generator, a vehicle alternator or grid power. AIMS states that it recharges in under four hours using generator, grid or maximum solar input, with even faster recovery when you combine charging sources.
Battery state of charge LEDs show 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% levels, along with alarm and on indicators. The unit also has CAN and RS485 communication ports, a DC load port with its own breaker and a battery charging input with its own breaker.
Mobile grooming and salons. AIMS lists mobile dog grooming and luxury salon rigs among the setups this system suits, with power for tools such as hair dryers.
Food trucks and espresso carts. Run coffee makers, an electric kettle, a microwave or an air fryer from stored solar energy.
Mobile tech, media and command vehicles. Keep laptops, Starlink, mobile hotspots, routers and monitors powered in the field.
Construction sites and service rigs. AIMS names on-site construction and framing, mobile mechanics and service rigs, and multi-bay fleet charging as common uses.
RVs and whole-coach power. AIMS lists off-grid air conditioning and whole-coach appliance power among the Armadillo's applications.
A traditional system means mounting and wiring a separate battery bank, inverter charger, transfer switch and charge controller. The Armadillo combines them in one enclosure, so there are fewer wires, fewer connections and fewer components to install.
Many solar generators can't add storage. The Armadillo starts at 5.58 kWh and accepts up to eight additional 420Ah batteries, so you can scale beyond 50 kWh as your needs grow.
AIMS designed the Armadillo to deliver long-duration power without the noise, fuel or maintenance of a traditional generator. A generator can still serve as one of its charging sources when you need faster recovery.
AIMS says you need about 46 square feet for the four solar panels. The all-in-one unit measures 29.25 x 21.75 x 15.75 in and is meant for a fixed location, so plan a secure spot with room to reach its front panel. If you plan to add expansion batteries later, leave room for them near the unit.
Keep the combined wattage of everything running at once under the 3000 watt inverter rating. AIMS lists a small AC unit, a ceramic space heater, a single-burner induction cooktop, a standard microwave, an electric kettle at 1,000W to 1,500W, a hair dryer, a toaster, a CPAP and a cordless drill charger among common uses. Runtime depends on what you run and the battery's state of charge.
AIMS says to plan for about 46 square feet for the four 200W N-type panels.
Yes. AIMS states that you can connect up to eight additional 420Ah batteries for more than 50 kWh of total storage. The Outbound Power team can help you choose compatible batteries.
You can charge from solar, a generator, a vehicle alternator or grid power, and combining sources speeds up recovery.
Not in the carry-around sense. AIMS built it with heavy-duty industrial construction for fixed installations and demanding workloads, and it prioritizes performance over lightweight portability.
You get 20 ft PV wires with 20 ft extenders, an entry gland with MC4 type connectors and 10 ft leads, a solar fuse and solar panel brackets.
The AIMS Power Armadillo Expedition Solar Kit brings 800 watts of N-type solar, 5.58 kWh of expandable lithium storage and a 3000 watt pure sine inverter charger together in a system with fewer parts to wire. If you'd like help planning panel placement, sizing your loads or adding batteries, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
