Solar system for a shop with overnight backup power

A solar system sized for a shop that carries the fridge, lights and till through a full night without grid power. Built around the Felicity Solar IVGM6KLP1G1 6kW Single-Phase Hybrid Solar Inverter, with Felicity Solar LPBA48350TG1 51.2V 17.92kWh LiFePO4 Battery and 10 × Felicity Solar GK-1-72HTBD-580M 580W Solar Panel.

If 4 hours are enough instead of 8, the storage needed falls to 4.2 kWh — 6.5 kWh installed across 1 battery unit(s), 9.6 kWh less. The array stays at 5.5 kWp. Solar system for a shop with evening backup power

What the Felicity records say about this kit

The shop profile sized here — 2 × air conditioner, fridge, 2 × lights & Wi-Fi and computers — reaches 5.6 kW in the instant its motors start and takes about 25.2 kWh across a day. Felicity's IVGM6KLP1G1 is the 6 kW single-phase hybrid unit that covers it. Its record gives a battery window of 40–60 V, 2 MPPT trackers working at 120–425 V, a PV ceiling of 500 V and an IP65 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. 10 of them make 5.5 kWp at 5.7 peak sun hours a day and take roughly 26 m² of roof, where they add about 310 kg (31 kg a panel). The strings are wired so that their voltage stays inside the IVGM6KLP1G1's 120–425 V MPPT range.

8 hours of this profile without mains come to about 8.4 kWh, and that is what the battery bank is sized against. One LPBA48350TG1 is 17.92 kWh by name, counted here as 16.1 kWh usable. At 51.2 V nominal the bank sits inside the IVGM6KLP1G1's 40–60 V battery window.

Felicity lines this kit does not include

A kit here is an inverter, a lithium battery bank and an array. The Felicity range on this site also holds MPPT solar charge controllers, integrated solar street lights, lithium batteries at lower voltages and gel batteries. Each has its own page and its own price, and none is added to the kit.
