Inverter off-grid all-in-one Steca Solarix PLI 2400-24 and PLI 5000-48

Steca Elektronik, one of the main manufacturer of solar electronics systems and battery charging systems, is a company founded in Memmingen in Germany in 1976. Today it boasts over 750 employees and two production plants one  Germany and one in Bulgaria.

Series SolariX PLI 2400-24 and 5000-48, all-in-one inverter

Among the Steca Elettronik products for off-grid systems, in addition to a lot of different kind of charge regulators and inverters, we find the brand new one products SolariX PLI 2400-24 and 5000-48 series, an all-in-one inverter composed of the photovoltaic charge controller with MPPT technology, the inverter which converts the power generated and a battery charger input for an external backup source.


This series of all-in-one inverters allow to provide the consumer with a 230 V AC power supply, the ability to change the source of energy very quickly up to 10ms, selection of flexible energy priority, moreover the device also acts as a UPS .

Any type of load can be powered due to the double overload capacity with respect to the nominal power and the pure sine wave.

Maximum energy even in adverse weather conditions

The MPPT tracker of the integrated charge controller ensures that, even in adverse weather conditions, the maximum energy is obtained from the photovoltaic modules so as to optimally charge the battery and provide energy to consumption at the same time.

Steca Solarix PLI 2400-24 / 5000-48 / 1000-12

Steca

With these features the Solarix PLI can be used in 3 modes:

  • off-grid system where the only source of energy are the photovoltaic modules
  • off-grid  system with backup with the possibility of choosing the priority source (photovoltaic or external)
  • UPS where the batteries are charged only from the mains grid and remain in buffer until the blackout.
  • Size available: 2400-24 / 5000-48 / 1000-12

The first all-in-one product from Steca Elektronik. The products of the Solarix PLI 2400-24, 5000-48 and 1000-12 series are composed of a 230V AC pure sine wave inverter, a photovoltaic charge controller with 40A or 80 A MPPT technology and a maximum voltage of 100 V or 145 V, an battery charger input 230 V AC for an external backup source as a power supply or a generator that can be activated via a relay. This allows you to create a complete island hybrid system.

Switching between battery power and external grid / generator is very fast, switching time shorter than 10 ms.

Through an accessory communication card, up to 9 machines can be inserted in the same system, thus forming a three-phase system with 3 machines in parallel for each phase, but also up to 9 machines on the same phase.

The Solarix PLI 5000-48 also supports unbalanced three-phase configurations, the important thing is not to exceed nine machines per plant.

Given the capacity of double overload with respect to the nominal power and the pure sine wave, any type of load can be powered.

The refined software of the search for the maximum power point always ensures the maximum charge of the batteries in any environmental condition.

The large display allows you to monitor all operating parameters comfortably, all settings are made directly from the display via the 4 function buttons, and the RS232 and USB communication ports are also available for connection to a PC.
