Outback SkyBox 5048A Pre-Wired Inverter System

Outback Power
SkyBox Hybrid Inverter

NEW! Outback Power SkyBox 5kW AC output inverter, is their most flexible system yet!  SkyBox allows you to enjoy the benefits of a grid-tied PV system with the independence of an off-grid system. This system is for anyone who needs backup power or protection from utility rate changes.  SkyBox can take up to 6,000 watts of DC input power from solar panels through two 3kW/600Vdc inputs. It will then generate up to 5,000 watts of standard 240V AC output power. Outback's OPTICS RE monitoring is always in view on the LED display, or anywhere with an internet connection. Compatible with the latest battery technologies like lithium, SkyBox is highly flexible - so you can use grid-tied solar today, then add batteries at a later time, and go off the grid completely.  SkyBox redefines simplicity, intelligence, flexibility and control.

applications:

• Time-Of-Use Optimization - serve loads from PV 1st, then use least expensive power available (ie. from Grid or Battery)
• Self Consumption - serve loads from PV 1st (PV production is automatically adjusted to match load).  Also ensures no power flow to the Grid if Export is prohibited.
• Net Metering with Battery Backup - excess PV generation is sold back to the Grid when available
• Basically, with the data you input, SkyBox determines the most appropriate/lowest cost energy source and chooses it for you!
