The AIMS Power Hybrid Inverter Kit 9600 combines a 9.6kW hybrid inverter charger with thirty 330 watt monocrystalline solar panels, for a total of 9900 watts of solar. Two 100 foot sets of PV wire with MC4 connectors run from the array to the inverter. The hybrid inverter brings solar power and battery backup together in one system.
The kit is for homeowners who want more say in how their solar power is used, and for installers building grid tie, net metering and load share systems. You can program the inverter to power your home, charge a battery bank or send extra power to the utility, and you can check on it from your phone. Batteries aren't included, so you can add a lithium or lead battery bank for backup or off-grid use.
Each panel is rated 330 watts, with an optimum power voltage of 33.9 volts, an optimum operating current of 9.73 amps and an open circuit voltage of 41.5 volts. The 60 monocrystalline cells have a cell efficiency of 21.47 percent and a module efficiency of 19.78 percent. Each panel has 3.2 mm front glass, a 6000Pa surface load rating and a hail rating of 45 mm at 30.7 m/s, and it measures 65.35 x 39.37 x 1.4 inches at 39.7 lbs.
You set up the inverter from its digital touch screen in one of three modes. In Self-Use, the panels power your loads first, extra energy recharges the battery bank and anything left goes to the grid. Selling First powers your loads and sends the excess to the grid. Charge First fills the battery bank before powering loads, sends the remainder to the grid and can use solar and grid together to recharge the batteries when the panels can't produce enough.
With a battery bank connected, the inverter switches over to batteries automatically if the grid goes down. Its isolated emergency backup output powers the loads you define, so the circuits you choose stay on during an outage.
You can charge batteries from the grid when rates are low and power your home at set times, with charge and load times configurable to your local utility's recommendations. You can also power your home at night from batteries and recharge them with sunlight during the day. If you have a generator, the 240VAC generator input lets you charge batteries from it instead of the grid or solar. Load sharing is built in.
The DC input voltage is customizable for battery types including lithium and lead, and the inverter has a wide programmable voltage input range and a wide PV input voltage range.
An app lets you monitor the system from your phone wherever you are. The inverter has a large 5 inch color LCD, and it communicates over RS485, CAN, Wi-Fi and 4G.
The inverter is IP65 and NEMA4X rated for outdoor installation and listed to UL 1741-SA, CSA 22.2 No. 107-01, UL 1998 and UL 1699B. It's FCC Part 15 Class B compliant, takes direct 3 string PV input and is stackable up to 6 units.
Net metering homes. When you're away, send extra solar power back to the utility to offset your power bill.
Outage backup. Add a battery bank and wire your chosen circuits to the emergency backup output so they switch to batteries when the grid goes down.
Time-of-use rate plans. Charge batteries from the grid when rates are low and run your home from them at the times you set.
Homes with a generator. Use the generator input to charge your batteries when solar is short and you'd rather not draw from the grid.
Off-grid use with batteries. Pair the inverter with a battery bank to store your solar power and use it after dark.
Many solar homes send their extra power to the grid but have no batteries to store it, so they can't use their own solar power during an outage. The Kit 9600's hybrid inverter adds a battery port, an isolated backup output and automatic switchover, so the same panels can support backup power once you add batteries.
Self-Use sends extra solar to your batteries before the grid, which suits homes that want stored power for evenings and outages. Selling First sends the excess straight to the grid once your loads are covered, which suits homes focused on net metering.
Thirty panels at 65.35 x 39.37 inches each need a large roof or ground area, and racking isn't on the component list, so plan your mounting separately. The inverter takes direct 3 string PV input and measures about 23 3/4 x 15 3/4 x 9 1/4 inches at about 55 lbs. Have a qualified installer design the strings and handle the grid connection.
Batteries aren't included. You'll need a battery bank for backup power and for the battery modes, and the inverter's DC input can be set for lithium or lead batteries.
No. The kit includes the hybrid inverter charger, thirty 330 watt panels and two 100 foot sets of PV wire.
Yes. The kit is designed for grid tie, net metering and load share use, and a battery bank is optional for backup or off-grid use. In Selling First mode, the panels power your loads and send the excess to the grid.
Yes. The inverter includes an app for remote monitoring that you set up and run from your phone.
AIMS lists a 10 year warranty on the hybrid inverter. The solar panels carry a power output warranty of 91.2 percent at 12 years and 80.6 percent at 25 years.
The AIMS Power Hybrid Inverter Kit 9600 gives you 9900 watts of solar, a 9.6kW programmable hybrid inverter and the PV wire to connect them, ready for batteries and a generator when you want them. If you'd like help planning the array or the battery bank, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
