AIMS Power Ironwood Homestead Solar Kit | 1200W Solar, 5000W Inverter, 7.98kWh 24V Battery

The AIMS Power Ironwood Homestead Solar Kit Powers Large Appliances Off Grid With 1200 Watts of Solar, a 5000 Watt Inverter and a 7.98 kWh 24V Lithium Battery Bank

The AIMS Power Ironwood Homestead Solar Kit is a complete 24 volt off-grid solar power system. It brings together six 200 watt N-type solar panels, a combiner box, a 60 amp charge controller, a quick solar disconnect switch, two 300Ah lithium deep cycle batteries that form a 7.98 kWh 24V bank, and a 5000 watt, 42 amp industrial grade pure sine inverter, along with the fuses and PV wire to connect them.

AIMS built it for do-it-yourself owners and installers who need dependable, high capacity power for demanding loads. It fits full-time off-grid cabins and homesteads, workshops, food trucks, large RVs and backup power for well pumps and appliances. The combiner box and disconnect switch simplify the solar wiring and make servicing safer.

AIMS Power Ironwood Homestead Solar Kit Features

A 24 Volt Design for Larger Loads

AIMS designed the Ironwood around a 24 volt battery system. Running at 24 volts reduces current draw and lowers energy loss through wiring, which helps the system handle larger loads and a more powerful inverter.

A 5000 Watt Industrial Grade Inverter

The 5000 watt, 42 amp, 24V DC industrial grade pure sine inverter is built to run large appliances and demanding loads. It comes with 6 foot cables, and a 300A battery to inverter fuse is included to protect that connection.

7.98 kWh of Lithium Iron Phosphate Storage

Two lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) deep cycle batteries, connected with the included cables and jumpers, make up the 7.98 kWh 24V bank. Each battery has a power button and state of charge lights at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, plus alarm and run indicators. Each one measures 21.46 x 10.35 x 10.59 inches and weighs 71.7 lbs.

1200 Watts of N-Type Solar

Six 200 watt N-type monocrystalline panels produce 1200 watts of solar to keep the battery bank charged for continuous off-grid use. Each panel measures 49.2 x 30.12 x 1.18 inches with 31.5 inch MC4 type connector leads, and the full array needs about 68 square feet.

An MPPT Charge Controller With a Clear Display

The 60 amp MPPT solar charge controller comes with 6 foot cables. Its screen shows solar input voltage, solar input wattage, battery voltage, solar input amperage, battery capacity and a daily kWh total, with alarm, charge and load lights beside it. An 80A charge controller to battery fuse is included.

A Combiner Box and Quick Disconnect

The PV combiner box simplifies the solar panel wiring for faster installation and a cleaner system, and it comes with connectors. The quick solar disconnect switch, marked DC Disconnect PV Array, lets you isolate the solar array for servicing and maintenance.

Real-World Applications

Off-grid homes, cabins and homesteads. Run a refrigerator, microwave, lighting, a TV and a laptop workstation in a full-time off-grid tiny home or cabin.

Workshops and job sites. Power heavy-duty off-grid workshops, mobile fabrication rigs and construction jobsite trailers with tools like a table saw or miter saw.

Farms and ranches. Supply off-grid agricultural systems such as well pumps, automated feeders and barn power.

Large RVs and boats. Support extended boondocking in large RVs and fifth wheels, or power liveaboard yachts and catamarans.

Backup and commercial use. Provide emergency backup for well pumps and appliances at home, or power food trucks, espresso vans and event setups.

Practical Comparison

Ironwood 24V System Versus a 12V System

A 12V system draws more current to deliver the same power, which means heavier wiring and more energy lost along the way. AIMS designed the Ironwood around 24 volts to cut current draw and voltage drop for larger loads like its 5000 watt inverter.

LiFePO4 Batteries Versus Lead-Acid Batteries

Lead-acid batteries are heavier for the energy they store and generally prefer shallower discharges. The Ironwood's lithium iron phosphate batteries give you 7.98 kWh in two units, which suits the continuous off-grid use AIMS designed this kit for.

Complete Kit Versus Sourcing Each Part

Building a system this size from separate parts means matching panels, a controller, a combiner box, a disconnect, batteries, an inverter, fuses and wire on your own. The Ironwood comes with pre-matched components, which simplifies planning and installation.

Buyer Guidance

Size Your Loads to the Inverter and Battery Bank

Add up the watts of everything you plan to run at the same time and keep the total within the inverter's 5000 watt rating. The 7.98 kWh battery bank sets how much energy is stored, so the more you run at once, the sooner the bank needs a recharge from the panels.

Plan the Array and Wire Runs

Set aside about 68 square feet for the six panels. The kit includes 100 feet and 20 feet of PV wire, so plan where the combiner box, disconnect switch and controller will mount before you route the wiring.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You need off-grid power for large appliances
• You want a 24V system with lithium storage
• You have about 68 square feet for six panels
• You want a combiner box and disconnect included
• You'd rather install one matched kit than separate parts

Common Questions

What Appliances Can the Ironwood Run?

AIMS lists examples such as an electric water heater, a 1.5 HP well pump, a 36k BTU mini-split, a two burner electric cooktop, a compact clothes dryer, a 2 HP air compressor, a refrigerator, a microwave and a dishwasher. What you can run at the same time, and for how long, depends on the total load and the battery's charge.

Why Is the Ironwood Built Around 24 Volts?

A 24 volt system reduces current draw, energy loss in the wiring and voltage drop, and it supports a more powerful inverter.

Which Fuses Are Included?

The kit includes a 300A battery to inverter fuse and an 80A charge controller to battery fuse.

What Does the Disconnect Switch Do?

The quick solar disconnect switch lets you isolate the solar array from the rest of the system for servicing and maintenance.

How Much Space Do the Panels Need?

Plan for about 68 square feet for the six 200 watt panels.
