The Rich Solar 6500 Watt (6.5kW) 48 Volt Off-Grid Hybrid Solar Inverter Combines an Inverter, Solar Charger and Battery Charger in One Unit

The Rich Solar 6500 Watt (6.5kW) 48 Volt Off-Grid Hybrid Solar Inverter, now sold by Rich Solar as the NOVA 6548 (RS-H6548), is a 6,500W pure sine wave inverter with 13,000W of surge capacity for 5 seconds. It runs from a 48V battery bank and delivers 120V AC output for homes, cabins, tiny homes, ADUs, RVs and other off-grid systems.

Inside the same case are dual MPPT solar charge controllers that accept up to 8,000W of PV input and an AC charger that works from utility power or a generator, with a combined charge current of up to 120A. Up to six units can run in parallel for more capacity or for split-phase systems, and the inverter is UL 1741 certified.


Rich Solar 6500 Watt (6.5kW) 48 Volt Off-Grid Hybrid Solar Inverter Features

6,500W Pure Sine Wave Output

The inverter supplies 6,500VA/6,500W of continuous 120V AC power, regulated to within 5%, with 13,000W of surge for 5 seconds to help start motors and compressors. Peak inverter efficiency is 91%, and line-mode efficiency is above 95%.

Dual MPPT Inputs for Up to 8,000W of Solar

Two MPPT inputs accept 4,000W each, for 8,000W of total PV. Each input handles up to 18A, with an MPPT operating range of 90V to 230V DC and a maximum open-circuit voltage of 250V DC, so you can run long series strings with less current in the wires.

Utility and Generator Charging

Connect utility power or a generator to the 120V AC input, rated for up to 60A. The NOVA 6548 can charge the battery from solar, AC or both at up to 120A, and configurable charging priority and charging current let you decide when to use each source. Automatic AC recovery resumes normal operation when utility power returns.

Fast Transfer for Backup Power

Transfer time is 10 ms in UPS mode and 20 ms in appliance mode, which helps keep computers and other sensitive loads running when grid power drops out.

Parallel and Split-Phase Capability

Connect up to six units in parallel to expand capacity, or configure units for split-phase applications. Rich Solar's setup video on this page walks through split-phase and parallel installation.

Battery Communication and Monitoring

The detachable LCD control module supports BMS communication over RS485, CAN-BUS and RS232. The inverter also offers USB, Wi-Fi and dry contact connections, and it works with AGM, Gel, flooded and lithium batteries.

Built-In Protection

The inverter protects against overload, over-temperature and short circuits, with battery overcharge protection at 66V DC. An optional 12V DC output supplies up to 100W for small DC loads.


Real-World Applications

Off-grid homes and cabins. Run household circuits from solar and a 48V battery bank, with a generator as backup.

Tiny homes and ADUs. Power a small dwelling with one unit, or pair units for split-phase 240V loads.

Home backup. Keep critical circuits running during outages and recharge from the grid when it returns.

Large RVs and campers. Rich Solar lists RVs and campers among its target applications for the NOVA 6548.

Workshops and remote sites. Run tools, pumps and equipment where grid power is unavailable or unreliable.


How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus separate components. A separate inverter, AC charger, transfer switch and solar charge controller take more wall space and wiring. The NOVA 6548 combines them in one 5.8 x 17.0 x 21.8 inch unit.

Versus a 12V or 24V inverter. A 48V system draws far less current from the battery for the same load, so cables, fuses and busbars can be smaller. That makes 48V a better match for whole-cabin and home loads.

Versus a grid-tie inverter. A grid-tie inverter needs the grid to operate and usually has no battery. The NOVA 6548 runs off-grid from batteries and solar, and uses utility or generator power when available.


Is This Inverter the Right Fit

  • Battery bank. You need a 48V battery bank. The inverter supports AGM, Gel, flooded and lithium batteries, with BMS communication for compatible lithium batteries.
  • Solar array. Design each string for 90V to 230V DC operating voltage, under 250V DC open-circuit voltage, and no more than 18A and 4,000W per input.
  • AC output. One unit supplies 120V AC. For 120/240V split-phase power, plan on paired units configured for split-phase.
  • Installation. The operating temperature range is -14°F to 104°F, so plan a sheltered, ventilated location. Follow local electrical codes for an installation of this size.

This may be a good fit if

  • You are building an off-grid home, cabin or ADU with a 48V battery bank
  • You want solar, battery, grid and generator charging in one unit
  • You need 6,500W of continuous power with room to expand to six units
  • You want UL 1741 certification for your installation

Common Questions

Can This Inverter Provide 240V Power?

A single NOVA 6548 provides 120V AC. Rich Solar supports parallel operation of up to six units, including split-phase configurations for 120/240V systems.

Does It Work With Lithium Batteries?

Yes. It is compatible with AGM, Gel, flooded and lithium batteries, and the control module supports BMS communication over RS485, CAN-BUS and RS232.

Can I Charge From a Generator?

Yes. The AC input accepts utility or generator power, and charging priority can be configured to suit your system.

How Much Solar Can I Connect?

Up to 8,000W, split across two MPPT inputs of 4,000W each. Keep each string within the voltage and current limits in the specifications below.
