The inverter should be compatible with lead acid, lithium-ion and been used with supercapacitor batteries.
Why the Mecer is not a true hybrid?Īlthought the inverter can be connected to the grid and use PV to supplement your power usage and charge you batteries, it lacks the ability to use PV-generated power to supplement your heavy load like a true hybrid system does.Ī Hybrid solar system has an AC output for backup or essential loads and can also provide power to your main load including pushing back excess power generation back to the grid (although at the moment in South Africa you need to limit or prevent excess power from being pushed back into the grid - this is done with a separate meter and settings on the inverter are the same as would apply to a grid tied inverter) Same requirements apply as for the backup system without PV panels connected, with the addition of calculating the amount of panels you require to get the most out of your Mecer inverter. You have the grid powering the heavy load items like geysers, stove, irons, heaters etc and the PV supplementing the backup load and charging the batteries for your backup or essential load. This is the same as the above setup and is the standard way the inverters are setup in South Africa. Mecer inverter as a backup inverter with PV panels. It is best to isolate the essential load you want running off the backupĮssential load should not exceed the rated capacity of your inverter/s.ĭetermine the requirements to cover the backup load and how many batteries you will need for this purpose. If all you are concerned about is power outages and need a backup system, the inverter can be connected to the grid as a backup. Mercer inverter as a backup inverter without panels. If you require additional power to support larger loads you can use multiple inverters in parallel. Load peak should not exceed the rated capacity of the Mecer inverter. Sufficient panels to power the load and charge the batteries. Main requirement for this installation is that you have sufficient storage to cover the load when you don’t have power generation from the PV array. These inverters are ideal for off grid type setup

Portable Backup/UPS Inverter with Trolley - Off grid solar inverter - Hybrid solar inverter Mecer do have hybrid systems now, a 5KW single phase and a 10KW 3Phase inverter but these are not the standard Axpert models. The standard 5KW Mecer inverters are often marketed as hybrid inverters but it is at most a semi hybrid system, but it still has a place in the market. Mecer inverters come in various sizes with the 5KW being the most popular of the range in the solar market. Mecer solar inverters are Axpert inverters branded under the Mecer name amongst others - this info on the Mecer inverter should cover those units.
