AIMS Power Badland Reserve Solar Kit | 3960W Solar, 4000W 48V Inverter Charger, 20.4kWh AGM Battery

The AIMS Power Badland Reserve Solar Kit Stores Deep Backup Energy With 3960 Watts of Solar, Eight 200Ah AGM Batteries and a 4000 Watt 48V Split-Phase Inverter Charger

The AIMS Power Badland Reserve Solar Kit is a complete 48 volt DC solar power system for sustained off-grid operation and long duration backup. Twelve 330 watt monocrystalline panels feed a combiner box, a quick disconnect switch and an 80 amp charge controller. They charge eight 12V 200Ah AGM batteries that form a 48V, 20.4 kWh bank, and a 4000 watt, 33 amp low frequency inverter charger with an integrated transfer switch delivers 120/240V split-phase power.

AIMS designed the Badland for do-it-yourself owners and installers who need dependable long term energy for off-grid cabins, remote properties, commercial applications and essential home backup. It works well where daily power demand is low to moderate but the system needs deep reserves and strong daytime solar production.

AIMS Power Badland Reserve Solar Kit Features

3960 Watts of Solar Production

Twelve 330 watt monocrystalline panels provide 3960 watts of charging for sustained off-grid operation and backup replenishment. Each panel measures 65.35 x 39.25 x 1.37 inches and weighs 40 lbs, and the full array needs about 240 square feet.

A 48V AGM Battery Bank With Deep Reserves

Eight AGM12V200A 12V 200Ah valve regulated batteries make up the 48V, 20.4 kWh bank, giving you deep energy reserves for long runtime and extended backup. The battery label lists a cycle use charge voltage of 14.4 to 14.7V per battery.

A 4000 Watt Split-Phase Inverter Charger

The 4000 watt, 33 amp, 48V DC inverter charger supplies 120/240V AC for standard household devices and larger appliances that need 240V. Its integrated transfer switch handles the transition between solar, battery, grid and generator power. It comes with 8 foot cables and a battery temperature sensor, and its AC end has separate HOT1 and HOT2 output breakers.

An Efficient 48 Volt Design

AIMS built the Badland at 48 volts DC to reduce current draw, minimize voltage loss, lower heat generation and support longer cable runs. That makes the system easier to scale and helps the inverter run efficiently on a larger off-grid setup.

A Combiner Box, Disconnect and Matched Fuses

The PV combiner box has six PV input pairs, comes with connectors and simplifies the array wiring. The quick disconnect switch, marked DC Disconnect PV Array, lets you isolate the solar array. The kit includes a 100A battery to inverter fuse and an 80A charge controller to battery fuse, and the 80 amp controller comes with 8 foot cables.

Real-World Applications

Cabins and remote outposts. Power off-grid cabins, tiny homes, hunting cabins and remote outposts with low to moderate daily demand.

Essential home backup. Keep 120V and 240V critical loads such as well pumps, refrigeration and gas furnace blowers running during outages.

Farms and ranches. Supply water well pumping, livestock barns and automated gates on remote land.

Work sites and workshops. Run off-grid workshops with moderate power tool use, or provide basecamp power for construction sites and jobsite trailers.

Seasonal and waterfront property. Support seasonal off-grid properties, fixed marine docks and boat houses where strong daytime solar keeps the AGM bank charged.

Practical Comparison

Badland AGM Batteries Versus Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries are another common way to store solar energy. The Badland uses AGM batteries instead, and AIMS pairs them with a 3960 watt array because AGM batteries recharge more slowly and benefit from high daytime solar production.

48V System Versus a 12V System

A 12V system draws much more current for the same power, with more voltage loss, more heat and shorter practical cable runs. The Badland's 48 volt design reduces current draw and wiring strain on a large system.

Complete Kit Versus Sourcing Each Part

Building a system this size from separate parts means matching panels, a combiner box, a disconnect, a controller, eight batteries, an inverter charger, fuses and wire yourself. The Badland's components are matched for compatibility, which simplifies planning and installation.

Buyer Guidance

Size Your Loads and Plan for Recharge

Keep the total of everything you run at the same time within the inverter charger's 4000 watt rating. The 20.4 kWh AGM bank gives you deep reserves, but AGM batteries recharge more slowly, so plan on strong daytime sun or grid and generator charging to refill the bank.

Plan for Space and Weight

The twelve panels need about 240 square feet, and the full kit weighs about 500 lbs. Set aside room for eight batteries, and plan where the combiner box, disconnect, controller and inverter charger will mount before you route the 100 feet and 20 feet of PV wire.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You need deep backup reserves
• Your daily demand is low to moderate
• You want 120V and 240V power
• You prefer an AGM battery bank
• You have about 240 square feet for panels

Common Questions

What Can the Badland Power?

AIMS lists well pumps, refrigeration, gas furnace blowers, livestock barns, automated gates and moderate power tool use among its uses. What you can run at once, and for how long, depends on your total load and the battery's charge.

What Batteries Come With the Kit?

You get eight 12V 200Ah AGM batteries that make up the kit's 48V, 20.4 kWh bank.

Can the Badland Use Grid or Generator Power?

Yes. The integrated transfer switch handles the transition between solar, battery, grid and generator power sources.

Which Fuses Are Included?

The kit includes a 100A battery to inverter fuse and an 80A charge controller to battery fuse.
