Meanwell's ISI-500 500W DC/AC modified sine wave inverter has an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charger which allows energy from the sun to be stored into the battery bank using solar panels and transformed to AC output via the inverter. This
can conserve energy consumption as well as the utility bill, says the company. The standalone solar inverter can be constructed as a power station with the addition of external lead-acid batteries and solar panels. Digitally controlled by microprocessor, the inverters are lightweight and up to 88% efficient. They can provide 500W rated power continuously (350W for 12V). Peak load capability includes 110% rated power for 60s and high surge power up to 200% rated value for 30 utility cycles. The inverters comply to IEC60950-1 and can power lighting, appliances and portable equipment in remote areas where a utility supply cannot reach.
