A standout feature for modern energy challenges is its ability to run without a battery, drawing power directly from solar panels or the AC utility to supply your load, offering crucial flexibility and a pathway to expand your system over time. 

The Command Centre for Seamless Energy Management in Your Home or Business

The inverter’s capacity to handle a maximum PV input voltage reaching 400V, 450V, or even 500V (depending on the specific model in the series) ensures customers can make full use of their solar energy harvest.

Key Features: What Makes the PV1800 ECO a Top Choice

The MUST PV1800 ECO is packed with features designed for optimal performance and user convenience:
  • Pure Sine Wave Output: This is paramount for protecting your sensitive electronics. It ensures the power delivered to your appliances is clean, stable, and identical to the quality of electricity from the national grid.
  • Smart LCD Setting: A clear and intuitive LCD display allows users to easily monitor working modes, adjust charge current, set charge voltage, and fine-tune other critical parameters, giving you control over your energy system.
  • Built-in 100A MPPT Solar Charge Controller: The heart of its solar efficiency. The 100-Amp Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller constantly finds the optimal voltage and current point from your solar panels, maximizing energy harvest throughout the day, even under varying light conditions. This means more power from your panels and faster battery charging.
  • Wide PV Input Voltage Range (30V – 320V, Max VOC: 400VDC): This broad input range provides significant flexibility in designing your solar array, allowing for various panel configurations to suit different roof sizes and solar panel types.
  • Can Provide Power to the Load Without Battery: A crucial feature for resilience and cost-efficiency. It means you can power your appliances directly from solar panels or the grid, even if your batteries are low or not yet installed.
  • Combines Multiple Power Sources: It intelligently blends power from your solar system, the AC utility (grid), and your battery bank to ensure a continuous and stable power supply, seamlessly transitioning between sources during power outages.
  • Comprehensive Protections: Includes essential safeguards against overload, short circuit, and deep discharge, protecting both the inverter and your connected appliances, thereby extending their lifespan.
  • Cold Start Function: This feature allows the inverter to power up directly from the battery even without any grid power present, ensuring your system can be started reliably after a prolonged blackout.
  • Support for RS485 & CAN Monitoring: These communication ports enable advanced monitoring and allow seamless communication with compatible lithium batteries (via the CAN port), facilitating optimized charging, discharging, and real-time data exchange for smarter energy management.
  • Dual Outputs for Smart Load Management: Offers flexibility in wiring, potentially allowing you to manage critical and non-critical loads separately for optimized power distribution.

Detailed Specifications: Understanding the Power Within

Let's break down the technical data to illustrate the inverter's capabilities:

Inverter Mode:

  • Rated Power (Main+Second Load): 3600VA/3600W: This confirms its robust continuous power delivery, capable of supporting a significant number of household or small business appliances simultaneously.
  • DC Input: 24VDC, 135A: Designed for compatibility with 24-Volt battery banks, which are common and efficient for systems of this size.
  • AC Output: 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 15.7A: Delivers standard household voltage and frequency, making it compatible with all your typical appliances.
  • Output Power Factor: 1.0: Indicates high efficiency in converting power from DC to AC, meaning virtually all the power is usable.
  • AC Charger Mode:
  • AC Input: 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 17.7A: Allows for robust charging of your batteries from the national grid when solar power is insufficient or unavailable.
  • DC Output: 24VDC, 60A: Specifies the battery charging current from the grid, ensuring relatively fast and efficient replenishment of your battery bank.

Solar Charger Mode:

  • Rated MPPT Charger Current: 100A: A powerful charge current for rapid and efficient charging of your batteries directly from solar panels.
  • MPPT Voltage Range (Typ): 30-320VDC: Provides the range within which the MPPT controller actively extracts maximum power from your solar array.
  • Max Solar Voltage (VOC): 400VDC: The maximum open circuit voltage your solar array can produce and still be safely connected to the inverter.
  • Max PV Input Current: 18A: The maximum current the solar input can handle from your panels.
  • Max MPPT Power: 4000W: The total maximum power from your solar panels that the inverter can effectively utilize and convert for charging or direct consumption.

Warranty & Professional Installation Requirements

The MUST PV1800 ECO 3.6kW Hybrid Inverter comes with a 1 Year Warranty, providing peace of mind for your investment.

It is critical to note that for all inverters and batteries, the warranty conditions strictly require that the units must be installed by a qualified electrical wireman or Master electrician who holds a valid registration with the Department of Labour. Upon completion of the installation, a valid electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) must be issued specifically for the backup or solar system. The installation must rigorously comply with SANS 10142 and ALL its parts (or the equivalent national electrical safety standards). Any warranty claim submitted without installation photos, a valid COC, and verifiable proof of a qualified wireman/master electrician having installed the unit, can be rejected and will render the warranty claim null and void. This ensures safety, performance, and adherence to professional standards.
