Description
The Luminey Elecra PV5600 (4 kW, 24 V) hybrid inverter is designed to give flexible and reliable power for residential solar + storage systems. According to Luminey’s product lineup, this model supports both off-grid and backup modes, making it ideal for systems that require energy storage alongside solar generation.
Key Features & Specs:
-
Rated Power: 4,000 W / 4,000 VA.
-
Battery Voltage: 24 V DC, compatible with Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and lead-acid battery types.
-
Maximum PV Input: Up to 5,600 W from solar panels.
-
MPPT (Solar Charger): MPPT range is ~60 V to 450 V DC, with max open-circuit PV voltage at ~500 V.
-
Solar Charge Current: Supports up to 120 A charging current.
-
AC Output / Input Range: 230 V AC; selectable voltage window 170–280 V (for sensitive loads) or 90–280 V (for appliances).
-
Surge Power: Up to 8,000 VA (for surge / transient loads).
-
Efficiency: Peak efficiency between 90% and 93%.
-
Waveform: Pure sine wave output — good for sensitive electronics.
-
Display & Monitoring: 4.3″ color touch LCD, built-in Wi-Fi, USB / RS232 / RS485 / dry-contact for system communication.
-
Protection / Rating: IP21 protection, meaning limited protection from dust, and not very water-resistant — meant for indoor or sheltered installation.
-
Operating Environment: Designed to operate from ~-10 °C to +50 °C.
-
Physical: Size approx 119 mm (depth) × 313.6 mm (width) × 457.5 mm (height); weight ~10 kg.Warranty: 12 years (terms according to Luminey) as per its data sheet.
Use Cases / Advantages:
-
Great for small-to-medium residential solar + battery systems where 24 V battery banks are used.
-
Because it’s a hybrid, you can reliably run loads even when the grid is down (backup mode), or use solar to charge battery and supply load.
-
Pure sine wave output ensures safe operation of sensitive appliances (computers, electronics).
-
Good monitoring features (Wi-Fi + LCD) allow you to keep track of solar generation, battery state, and performance.
-
The IP21 rating makes it more economical than fully weatherproof inverters, as long as you install it in a relatively protected environment (like a shaded indoor wall).
Things to Consider / Limitations:
-
IP21 means limited protection — not ideal for outdoor exposed installations.
-
24 V battery requirement: you need a 24 V battery bank, which may limit capacity vs higher voltage systems.
-
Efficiency (~90-93%) is good, but not super high — plan for some losses.
-
Surge handling is good, but check that your peak load doesn’t exceed its surge power.
