Solar system for a villa with evening backup power
A solar system for a large villa that keeps every AC, the freezer and the pump running through a few hours of evening power cuts. Built around the Felicity Solar LPBA48350TG1 51.2V 17.92kWh LiFePO4 Battery, with 19 × 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 16.5 kWh instead of 8.3 kWh — 22.5 kWh installed across 1 battery unit(s), 6.4 kWh more. The array stays at 10.9 kWp. Solar system for a villa with overnight backup power

What the Felicity records say about this kit
The villa profile sized here — 4 × air conditioner, fridge, freezer, 2 × lights & Wi-Fi, 2 × TV, washing machine, water pump and kitchen (microwave & kettle) — reaches 11.7 kW in the instant its motors start and takes about 49.5 kWh across a day. On one phase that is a 12 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 12 kW single-phase off-grid IVAM12048P1G1 and the 12 kW three-phase hybrid IVGM12KLP3G1.
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. 19 of them make 10.9 kWp at 5.7 peak sun hours a day and take roughly 49 m² of roof, where they add about 589 kg (31 kg a panel).
4 hours of this profile without mains come to about 8.3 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.
