Figures on this page are the manufacturer's own, measured at the test conditions the datasheet states — they do not change by country. What changes is the approval that has to be met before the unit is energised: in the UAE that rests with the local authorities (DEWA, ADDC, SEWA). Confirm the grid code, import requirements and any local certification with them, or with us, before you order.

How much solar can I connect to the IVEM3048-LV?
Up to 4 kW of PV. The single MPPT tracker takes one string, works between 120 V and 450 V, starts at 125 V, tolerates a maximum 500 V PV input at up to 15 A, and delivers up to 60 A of solar charging.
Can the IVEM3048-LV run from a generator?
Yes, on a 110 V nominal input. It accepts a sinusoidal utility or generator supply from 65 V to 140 V in appliance mode and 90 V to 140 V in UPS mode, passes through up to 40 A, and can pass power through with no battery connected.
Where can the IVEM3048-LV be installed?
IP21, wall-mounted. It runs from -10 °C to 50 °C and stores from -15 °C to 60 °C, cooled by intelligent air cooling in a 440 x 328 x 130 mm, 11.9 kg net enclosure, and is built to IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2.
How much power does the Felicity IVEM5048-LV deliver?
5 kW, 5 kVA apparent, single-phase at 110 V and 50/60 Hz, with up to 50 A of output current, a pure sine wave waveform and a surge rating of twice the rated power for 5 seconds.
How much solar can the IVEM5048-LV take?
6 kW is the maximum PV input power. The single MPPT tracker takes one string, works between 120 V and 450 V, starts at 125 V, accepts up to 20 A and 500 V maximum, and charges the battery at up to 100 A.
Which batteries work with the IVEM5048-LV?
48 V nominal, over a 42-63 V working range: one battery input takes AGM, flooded, lithium-ion or self-defined banks, charged in three stages at 56.4 V bulk and 54 V float, 60 V maximum, at up to 100 A, with RS485 BMS communication.
Where can the IVEM5048-LV be installed?
-10 °C to 50 °C is the operating range for this wall-mounted IP21 unit. It measures 460 x 343 x 137 mm, weighs 13.1 kg net and 15 kg gross, uses intelligent air cooling and is stored between -15 °C and 60 °C.
