The AIMS Power Headwater Reserve Solar Kit is a complete 48 volt DC solar power system from AIMS's Reserve Class. It pairs twelve 330 watt monocrystalline solar panels with a combiner box, an 80 amp charge controller, a quick disconnect switch, a 10.6 kWh 48V wall mount lithium battery and a 6000 watt, 50 amp low frequency inverter charger with a built-in transfer switch. Fuses, PV wire and a battery temperature sensor complete the system.
AIMS designed the Headwater for do-it-yourself owners and installers who need substantial energy reserves and reliable high output power. It suits off-grid homes, cabins and homesteads, partial home backup for high-surge 120V equipment, and commercial setups that run larger appliances and tools for long stretches.
Twelve 330 watt monocrystalline panels produce 3960 watts of solar, enough to support rapid battery replenishment and long-term off-grid operation. Each panel measures 65.35 x 39.25 x 1.37 inches and weighs 40 lbs, and the full array needs about 220 square feet.
The 48V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery stores 10.6 kWh for extended runtime and deep energy reserves. It mounts on a wall, and its front panel has a power switch and battery state of charge lights so you can check the bank at a glance.
The 6000 watt, 50 amp, 48V DC inverter charger is sized for larger appliances, tools and demanding electrical loads. It ships with 8 foot cables. AIMS's photos of this inverter charger family show hardwire AC terminals, resettable charger input and inverter output breakers, a charge current control dial and ports for auto generator start and optional LCD and LED remotes.
The integrated transfer switch lets the system move between solar, battery, grid and generator power sources. That makes the Headwater a fit for full-time off-grid use as well as for backup at a property that still has utility service.
Running the system at 48 volts DC reduces current draw and minimizes voltage loss in the wiring. AIMS chose this design to support better inverter efficiency in larger systems and high demand applications.
The PV combiner box brings the panel strings together and comes with connectors. A quick disconnect switch, marked DC Disconnect PV Array, isolates the solar array for service. The 80 amp MPPT charge controller comes with 8 foot cables, and its screen shows solar input voltage, wattage and amperage, battery voltage, battery capacity and a daily kWh total.
Off-grid homes and cabins. Power off-grid cabins, homes and remote homesteads with moderate continuous loads, or eco-lodges, glamping sites and seasonal properties with occasional peak demand.
Partial home backup. Keep high-surge 120V equipment such as well pumps, sump pumps and kitchen appliances running during an outage.
Farms and ranches. Supply remote agricultural power for water well pumping, livestock barns and automated feed systems.
Workshops and job sites. Run high-surge power tools, air compressors and light welding equipment in an off-grid shop, or power a jobsite trailer, basecamp or fleet tool charging station.
Commercial and emergency use. Support large food trucks, catering trailers and espresso vans, disaster relief command centers and field medical tents, or remote telecom, radio repeater and weather stations.
Lower voltage systems draw more current to deliver the same power, which calls for heavier wiring and loses more energy along the way. The Headwater's 48 volt design cuts current draw and voltage loss, which suits a 6000 watt inverter charger and a large solar array.
A stand-alone inverter only turns battery power into AC power. The Headwater's inverter charger also includes a transfer switch, so the system can work with grid or generator power as well as solar and battery power.
Building a system this size from separate parts means matching every panel, controller, battery, fuse and wire yourself. The Headwater comes with components AIMS matched to work together, which simplifies planning and installation.
Add up the watts of everything you plan to run at the same time and keep the total within the inverter charger's 6000 watt rating. The 10.6 kWh battery sets how much energy is stored, so heavier loads drain it sooner and lean harder on the solar array to refill it.
Set aside about 220 square feet for the twelve panels. Panel mounting hardware isn't on AIMS's component list, so plan your racking separately. The kit includes 100 feet and 20 feet of PV wire, so decide where the combiner box, disconnect switch, charge controller, battery and inverter charger will mount before you route the wiring.
AIMS recommends about 220 square feet for the twelve 330 watt panels.
Yes. The inverter charger has a built-in transfer switch that moves between solar, battery, grid and generator power sources.
The kit includes a 100A battery to inverter fuse and an 80A charge controller to battery fuse.
No remote is on AIMS's component list for this kit. AIMS's photos of this inverter charger family show ports for an optional LCD remote and an optional LED remote.
A 48 volt DC system reduces current draw, minimizes voltage loss and supports better inverter efficiency for larger systems and high demand applications.
The AIMS Power Headwater Reserve Solar Kit combines 3960 watts of solar, a 6000 watt low frequency inverter charger with transfer switching and a 10.6 kWh 48V lithium battery in one complete system for serious off-grid living and long backup runs. If you'd like help sizing your loads or planning the array, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
