AIMS Power Peavine Sentinel Solar Kit | 400W Solar, 1500W Pure Sine Inverter Charger, 2.5kWh AGM Battery

The AIMS Power Peavine Sentinel Solar Kit Keeps Essential Devices Running With 400 Watts of N-Type Solar, a 2.5 kWh AGM Battery and a 1500 Watt Pure Sine Inverter Charger

The AIMS Power Peavine Sentinel Solar Kit is a complete 12 volt solar system that combines solar charging, battery storage and clean AC power. It includes two 200 watt N-type solar panels, a flush mount 30 amp solar charge controller, one 12V 200Ah AGM deep cycle battery with 2.5 kWh of storage, and a heavy duty 1500 watt pure sine inverter charger with a built-in transfer switch. Fuses, PV wire, cables and panel brackets are included.

AIMS designed the Peavine for DIY users and installers who need dependable power for small to mid size devices when grid power is unavailable or unstable. It suits small RVs and camper vans, small boats, remote workspaces and home backup for essential low-draw loads, and it is built to provide power for shorter periods of time.

AIMS Power Peavine Sentinel Solar Kit Features

A 1500 Watt Pure Sine Inverter Charger

The heavy duty 1500 watt pure sine inverter charger delivers stable power that safely runs sensitive electronics and appliances. Its built-in transfer switch moves between battery and grid power automatically. When grid or generator power is available, it recharges the battery while it keeps powering your connected devices. It measures 16.0 x 8.75 x 7.0 inches, weighs 32 lbs and comes with 6 foot cables.

400 Watts of N-Type Solar

Two 200 watt N-type monocrystalline panels keep the battery charged during daily use and off-grid operation. Each panel measures 49.2 x 30.12 x 1.18 inches and has MC4 type connectors on 31.5 inch leads. The pair needs about 22 square feet, and solar panel brackets are included.

A 200Ah AGM Battery You Can Expand

The 12V 200Ah AGM deep cycle battery stores 2.5 kWh for essential electronics and appliances and comes with cables. It is a valve regulated battery, and AIMS notes that you can add more batteries as your energy needs grow for longer run time.

A Flush Mount 30 Amp Charge Controller

The flush mount controller gives the install a clean, integrated look. It has an LCD, a USB port and menu keys on the front, with solar, battery and DC load ports on the back. It works with gel, lead, AGM and lithium batteries and protects against overload, short circuit, low voltage, high voltage and high temperature.

Fuses and Wiring Included

The kit includes a 150A battery to inverter fuse, a 50A charge controller to battery fuse, a solar fuse and two 25 foot 10AWG PV wires, one with a male and one with a female MC-4 compatible connector, each ending in a cut end. Matched parts make setup faster and simpler.

Real-World Applications

Small RVs and vans. Power camper vans, teardrop trailers and small RVs while boondocking.

Home backup. Keep a refrigerator and device charging going during an outage.

Boats and cabins. Supply small boats, tiny homes and hunting cabins used on weekends.

Work trucks and job sites. Charge tool batteries and laptops on construction sites or in mobile mechanic and service trucks.

Remote equipment. Run telecom repeaters, weather stations, security cameras, gate openers and livestock fencing.

Practical Comparison

Peavine Pure Sine Inverter Versus a Modified Sine Inverter

A modified sine inverter produces a stepped waveform that some sensitive electronics don't handle well. The Peavine's pure sine inverter charger delivers stable power that suits sensitive electronics and appliances.

Flush Mount Controller Versus a Surface Mount Controller

A surface mount controller sits on top of the wall or panel it is mounted to. The Peavine's flush mount controller mounts flush, with its solar, battery and DC load ports on the back, for a cleaner, more polished installation.

Single Battery Versus an Expanded Battery Bank

One 200Ah battery keeps the kit compact and provides power for shorter periods. If you need longer run time, AIMS recommends adding another battery.

Buyer Guidance

Match Your Loads to the Kit

Keep the total of everything you run at the same time within the inverter charger's 1500 watt rating. With 2.5 kWh of storage, the Peavine is sized for small to mid size devices for short periods, so plan on grid, generator or solar recharging, or an added battery, for longer use.

Plan the Install

Set aside about 22 square feet for the two panels and pick a spot for the flush mount controller. The PV wires are 25 feet long and the inverter cables are 6 feet, and the full kit weighs about 195 lbs.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You need backup for essential devices
• You run sensitive electronics
• You have about 22 square feet for panels
• You want a clean flush mount controller
• You may add batteries later

Common Questions

How Long Will the Battery Run My Devices?

Run time depends on what you connect and how much power it draws. AIMS describes the Peavine as providing power for shorter periods of time and suggests adding another battery for longer run time.

Can I Recharge the Battery From the Grid or a Generator?

Yes. When grid or generator power is available, the inverter charger recharges the battery while continuing to power your connected devices.

Is the Inverter Safe for Sensitive Electronics?

Yes. The 1500 watt pure sine inverter charger is designed to safely power sensitive electronics and appliances.

Which Battery Types Does the Controller Support?

The flush mount 30 amp controller works with gel, lead, AGM and lithium batteries.
