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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rated output of the Felicity IVGM18KLP3G1?
The IVGM18KLP3G1 is rated at 18 kW with 18 kVA of rated apparent power and 19.8 kVA maximum, delivered as three-phase 380-400 V line voltage (220-230 V per phase) on 3L+N+PE wiring at 50/60 Hz. Rated output current is 26.1 A and maximum output current 28.7 A, with 92 A of overcurrent protection and a surge to twice rated power for 10 seconds. Backup rated output power is also 18 kW.
How large a solar array can the IVGM18KLP3G1 take?
Up to 28.8 kW of PV, split across two MPPT trackers taking 2+2 strings. Each tracker works from 160 V to 650 V, with full-load tracking from 500 V to 800 V, an 800 V maximum PV voltage, 550 V rated PV input voltage and 36+36 A of input current (54+54 A short-circuit). The inverter starts up at 160 V and reaches 97.6% maximum efficiency.
Which batteries does the IVGM18KLP3G1 support, and how fast does it charge?
It has two battery inputs for lead-acid or lithium-ion banks in the 40-60 V range, charging and discharging at up to 330 A. BMS communication runs over RS485 or CAN and the charge algorithm self-adapts to the BMS, so a compatible lithium pack sets its own charge profile. Transfer to backup takes 20 ms.
What size is the IVGM18KLP3G1, and where can it be installed?
The inverter itself measures 750 x 450 x 268 mm and weighs 48.7 kg net, 60.2 kg gross in its packaging. It is IP65-rated with smart cooling and operates from -25 C to 60 C, derating above 45 C. A DC switch, AFCI and ground fault current monitoring are built in, and up to 10 units can be paralleled.
