- Makes 120/240 V from one unit, so it runs 240 V well pumps without a second inverter
- Takes 8,000 W of panels on two trackers, enough for a large home array
- Runs from solar alone when the battery is down or missing
- Up to 16 units in parallel for growing systems
- Off-grid only: it can’t sell power back to the grid
- About 50 W idle draw costs over 1 kWh a day of battery
- Indoor IP20 enclosure needs a dry, sheltered spot
