Off-grid solar system for an apartment
A complete off-grid solar system for an apartment with no grid connection at all — panels, inverter and battery sized to run day and night on their own. Built around the Felicity Solar IVEM5048 5kW Single-Phase Off-Grid Solar Inverter, with Felicity Solar FLA48500 51.2V 25kWh LiFePO4 Battery and 6 × Felicity Solar GK-1-72HTBD-580M 580W Solar Panel.
What is inside
What the Felicity records say about this kit
The apartment profile sized here — air conditioner, fridge, lights & Wi-Fi, TV and washing machine — reaches 4.9 kW in the instant its motors start and takes about 13.8 kWh across a day. Felicity's IVEM5048 is the 5 kW single-phase off-grid unit that covers it. Its record gives a battery window of 42–63 V, one MPPT tracker working at 120–500 V, a PV ceiling of 500 V and an IP21 enclosure.
The array is Felicity's own panel, the GK-1-72HTBD-580M, rated 580 W with 51.47 V open-circuit and 42.59 V at maximum power in its record. 6 of them make 3.2 kWp at 5.7 peak sun hours a day and take roughly 16 m² of roof, where they add about 186 kg (31 kg a panel). The strings are wired so that their voltage stays inside the IVEM5048's 120–500 V MPPT range.
Off the grid the battery bank has to hold a whole day of this profile, about 13.8 kWh. One FLA48500 is 25 kWh by name, counted here as 22.5 kWh usable. At 51.2 V nominal the bank sits inside the IVEM5048's 42–63 V battery window. The battery's record states a cycle life of more than 6,000 cycles and up to 15 units in parallel. One unit is 218 kg, which decides the vehicle you bring to our store in Dubai or Riyadh.
