Solar system for an office with evening backup power
A solar system for a working office that keeps the computers, lights and Wi-Fi running through a few hours of evening power cuts. Built around the Felicity Solar FLA48280 51.2V 14.3kWh LiFePO4 Battery, with 16 × Felicity Solar GK-1-72HTBD-580M 580W Solar Panel — order the rest online from the Felicity Solar catalogue.
To carry 8 hours instead of 4, the same home has to store 13.5 kWh instead of 6.7 kWh — 22.5 kWh installed across 1 battery unit(s), 9.6 kWh more. The array stays at 8.9 kWp. Solar system for an office with overnight backup power

What the Felicity records say about this kit
The office profile sized here — 3 × air conditioner, 2 × lights & Wi-Fi, 4 × computers and kitchen (microwave & kettle) — reaches 9.2 kW in the instant its motors start and takes about 40.4 kWh across a day. On one phase that is a 10 kW inverter. Felicity's single-phase hybrids in this catalogue cover 3–8 kW (T-REX-3KLP1G01 to IVGM8KLP2G1), so no hybrid model is named for this kit. At this size the Felicity listings are the 10 kW single-phase off-grid IVAM10048P1G1 and the 10 kW three-phase hybrid IVGM10KLP3G1.
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. 16 of them make 8.9 kWp at 5.7 peak sun hours a day and take roughly 42 m² of roof, where they add about 496 kg (31 kg a panel).
4 hours of this profile without mains come to about 6.7 kWh, and that is what the battery bank is sized against. One FLA48280 is 14.3 kWh by name, counted here as 12.9 kWh usable. The battery's record states a cycle life of 6,000 cycles and up to 15 units in parallel. One unit is 135 kg, which decides the vehicle you bring to our store in Dubai or Riyadh.
