AIMS Power Outpost Reserve Solar Kit | 3960W Solar, 12000W Inverter Charger, 28.8kWh 48V AGM Battery

The AIMS Power Outpost Reserve Solar Kit Powers Whole Properties Off Grid With 3960 Watts of Solar, a 12000 Watt Split-Phase Inverter Charger and a 28.8 kWh 48V AGM Battery Bank

The AIMS Power Outpost Reserve Solar Kit is a complete, high capacity solar power system from AIMS's Reserve Class. It combines twelve 330 watt monocrystalline solar panels, a 6 string combiner box, an 80 amp charge controller, a quick disconnect switch, twelve AGM 12V 200Ah batteries for a 28.8 kWh 48V bank, and a 12000 watt, 120/240VAC low frequency inverter charger with a built-in transfer switch. Fuses, PV wire and a battery temperature sensor complete the system.

AIMS built the Outpost for do-it-yourself owners and installers who need full off-grid capability for large homes, remote properties, commercial sites and critical backup systems. Its split-phase output runs standard household appliances along with 240V equipment such as well pumps, central air and heavy machinery.

AIMS Power Outpost Reserve Solar Kit Features

A 28.8 kWh AGM Battery Bank

Twelve AIMS AGM12V200A valve regulated batteries, connected with the included jumpers, make up the 28.8 kWh 48V bank. AIMS designed it for extended runtime and backup availability under heavy electrical demand.

12000 Watts of 120/240V Split-Phase Power

The 12000 watt, 100/50 amp, 48V DC inverter charger delivers 120/240VAC split-phase output, so it can run both standard residential loads and higher voltage equipment. It measures 16.3 x 23.3 x 8.0 inches, weighs 154 lbs and comes with 8 foot cables.

A Built-In Transfer Switch

The integrated transfer switch lets the system move between solar, battery, grid and generator power sources. That suits properties with unstable utility power as well as full-time off-grid sites.

Status Screen, Breakers and Hardwire Terminals

AIMS's feature graphic for its 8 to 12 kW inverter chargers shows an LED status screen, front circuit breakers, an AC hardwire terminal block, AC outlets, intelligent cooling fans, DIP switches and ports for a battery temperature sensor, auto generator start and an LCD remote. The battery temperature sensor is included in this kit.

3960 Watts of Solar

Twelve 330 watt monocrystalline panels produce 3960 watts of solar to replenish the battery bank during the day. Each panel measures 65.35 x 39.25 x 1.37 inches and weighs 40 lbs, and the array needs about 220 square feet.

An Efficient 48 Volt Design

Running at 48 volts DC reduces current draw and minimizes voltage loss. AIMS chose this design for more efficient high output inverter operation, large off-grid systems and long cable runs.

Combiner Box, Disconnect and MPPT Controller

The 6 string PV combiner box comes with connectors and simplifies the array wiring. A quick disconnect switch, marked DC Disconnect PV Array, isolates the panels for service. The 80 amp MPPT charge controller comes with 8 foot cables and shows solar input voltage, wattage and amperage, battery voltage, battery capacity and daily kWh on its screen.

Real-World Applications

Off-grid homes and homesteads. Power medium residential homes, homesteads and modern cabins, including whole-home loads such as central AC, well pumps, sump pumps and refrigerators.

Heavy workshops and job sites. Run 240V machinery, welders and industrial air compressors, or supply construction basecamps, job trailers and multi-crew tool charging.

Farms and hospitality properties. Handle water well pumping, livestock feeding equipment and barn power, or support glamping resorts, eco-lodges and multi-cabin properties.

Emergency and commercial use. Power mobile medical units, field hospitals and disaster relief hubs, remote telecom base stations and emergency radio hubs, or large mobile kitchen rigs.

Marine and floating homes. Supply commercial vessels and off-grid floating houseboats with extensive appliance systems.

Practical Comparison

Outpost Split-Phase Output Versus a 120V Only Inverter

A 120V only inverter can't run equipment that needs 240V. The Outpost's 120/240V split-phase output covers standard household circuits and higher voltage loads such as well pumps, central air and shop machinery from one system.

Outpost 48V System Versus a 12V or 24V System

Lower voltage systems draw more current for the same power, which calls for heavier wiring and loses more energy over long runs. The Outpost's 48 volt design cuts current draw and voltage loss, which suits a 12000 watt inverter charger.

Complete Kit Versus Sourcing Each Part

Building a system this size piece by piece means matching every panel, battery, fuse and cable yourself. The Outpost comes with industrial grade components AIMS matched for dependable charging and long-term reliability.

Buyer Guidance

Plan Space for the Array and Battery Bank

Set aside about 220 square feet for the twelve panels, plus room for twelve AGM batteries, the combiner box, the disconnect, the controller and the 154 lb inverter charger. Panel mounting hardware isn't on AIMS's component list, so plan racking separately.

Size Your Loads

Keep the total of everything running at once within the inverter charger's 12000 watt rating. The 28.8 kWh bank sets how much energy is stored, so heavier loads drain it sooner and rely more on the solar array and any grid or generator input.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You need 120/240V split-phase power off grid
• You want a large 48V AGM battery bank
• You have about 220 square feet for twelve panels
• You want grid and generator transfer built in
• You'd rather install one matched kit than separate parts

Common Questions

Does the Outpost Provide 240V Power?

Yes. The inverter charger has 120/240V split-phase output for standard appliances and higher voltage equipment.

What Type of Batteries Are Included?

The kit includes twelve AGM 12V 200Ah batteries with jumpers, for 28.8 kWh of storage in a 48V bank.

Which Fuses Come With the Kit?

The kit includes a 500A battery to inverter fuse and a 100A charge controller to battery fuse.

Is a Remote Included?

No remote is on AIMS's component list. AIMS lists a Bluetooth dongle (BT-AIMS-PRO) and an LCD and on/off remote (REMOTELF) as remote options for this kit.

How Much Space Do the Panels Need?

AIMS recommends about 220 square feet for the twelve 330 watt panels.
