AIMS Power Tamarack Homestead Solar Kit | 990W Solar, 4000W 12V Inverter Charger, 7.98kWh Lithium Battery

The AIMS Power Tamarack Homestead Solar Kit Runs Large Appliances and Tools With 990 Watts of Solar, a 4000 Watt Split-Phase Inverter Charger and 7.98 kWh of Lithium Storage

The AIMS Power Tamarack Homestead Solar Kit is a complete 12 volt off-grid solar power system. It pairs three 330 watt monocrystalline solar panels and an 80 amp charge controller with two 12V 300Ah lithium deep cycle batteries (600Ah and 7.98 kWh in total) and a 4000 watt, 33 amp low frequency inverter charger with 120/240V output and a built-in transfer switch. Brackets, a quick DC disconnect, fuses and PV wire round out the kit.

AIMS built the Tamarack for do-it-yourself owners and installers who need dependable power for small homes, cabins, small businesses and backup use. It suits full-time RV living in Class A motorhomes and large fifth wheels, off-grid tiny homes and homesteads, home emergency backup for critical appliances and well pumps, and mobile work rigs that run heavy tools.

AIMS Power Tamarack Homestead Solar Kit Features

A 4000 Watt Inverter Charger That Switches Sources for You

The 4000 watt, 33 amp inverter charger has a built-in transfer switch that moves your loads between shore or grid power and battery power automatically. When it is plugged in to grid or generator power, it passes that power through to your appliances and recharges the batteries. When outside power drops, it runs your loads from the battery bank.

120/240V Split-Phase Output for Pumps and Motors

Split-phase output covers standard 120V household loads as well as 240V pumps, motors and other higher demand equipment. The inverter charger accepts 240V AC input, and its AC end has a hardwire terminal block with separate HOT1 and HOT2 output breakers.

7.98 kWh of Lithium Iron Phosphate Storage

Two 12V 300Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) deep cycle batteries give you 600Ah and 7.98 kWh of stored energy. AIMS notes that the lithium bank offers extended run times and improved cycle life compared with traditional batteries. Each battery has a power button, charge lights at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, and alarm and run indicators.

990 Watts of Monocrystalline Solar

Three 330 watt monocrystalline panels produce 990 watts of solar to keep the batteries charged while the sun is up and reduce how often you need a generator. Each panel measures 65.35 x 39.25 x 1.37 inches and weighs 40 lbs. The array needs about 55 square feet, and mounting brackets are included.

An 80 Amp Charge Controller With Matched Fuses

The 80 amp charge controller manages solar charging for the battery bank. The kit includes an 80A charge controller to battery fuse, a 300A battery to inverter fuse and an inline solar fuse, so each main connection has protection from the start.

A Quick DC Disconnect for the Solar Array

The quick DC disconnect is marked DC Disconnect PV Array and has a rotary off and on handle. It lets you cut the solar array out of the system when you need to service or inspect the equipment.

Real-World Applications

Full-time RV living. Power Class A motorhomes and large fifth wheels while the panels keep the lithium bank topped up and the transfer switch handles shore power.

Cabins, tiny homes and homesteads. Supply mid-sized off-grid cabins, tiny homes and remote homesteads with 120V and 240V power.

Home emergency backup. Keep critical appliances and well pumps running when grid power goes out.

Mobile businesses and work rigs. Run food trucks, specialty coffee vans, mobile workshops and contractors' work rigs with tools like a table saw or air compressor.

Practical Comparison

Tamarack Inverter Charger Versus a Standalone Inverter

A standalone inverter only converts battery power to AC. The Tamarack's inverter charger also switches to grid or generator power when it is available and recharges the batteries at the same time, so you get backup power and charging in one unit.

Lithium Batteries Versus Lead-Acid Batteries

Traditional lead-acid batteries are a common way to store energy, but AIMS chose lithium for this kit for its extended run times and improved cycle life compared with traditional batteries. The two 300Ah units hold 7.98 kWh together.

Complete Kit Versus Sourcing Each Part

Building a system from separate parts means matching panels, a controller, batteries, an inverter charger, fuses, a disconnect and wire on your own. The Tamarack comes with pre-matched components, which shortens 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 charger's 4000 watt rating. The 7.98 kWh battery bank sets how much energy is stored, so heavy loads like a water heater or dryer draw it down faster and need more recharge time from the panels or grid power.

Plan the Array and Equipment Layout

Set aside about 55 square feet for the three panels. The kit includes 100 feet of PV wire, so decide where the panels, disconnect, charge controller, batteries and inverter charger will mount before you route the wiring. The full kit weighs about 350 lbs.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You need 120V and 240V power off grid
• You want lithium storage on a 12V system
• You want automatic switching to grid power
• You have about 55 square feet for panels
• You'd rather install one matched kit

Common Questions

What Appliances Can the Tamarack Run?

AIMS lists examples such as a 40 gallon electric water heater, a compact electric dryer, a mini-split heat pump, a 1 HP deep well pump, a dishwasher, a two or three burner electric cooktop, a 1.5 to 2 HP air compressor, a table saw and a Level 1 portable EV charger. What you can run at once, and for how long, depends on your total load and the battery's charge.

Can the Kit Supply 240V Power?

Yes. The inverter charger provides 120/240V split-phase output, so it can run 240V pumps and motors as well as standard household loads.

What Type of Batteries Are Included?

The kit includes two 12V 300Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) deep cycle batteries for a 600Ah, 7.98 kWh bank.

Which Fuses Come With the Kit?

You get a 300A battery to inverter fuse, an 80A charge controller to battery fuse and an inline solar fuse.
