Questions about this product
Questions about this product
How many panels can I run and how should I size the array?
Most installs use about 1.6–2.4 kW of PV. In practice, that’s typically 4–5 panels at 400–450 W
What PV input limits should I follow?
Operating window 90–380 VDC. Max PV open-circuit voltage 380 V. Max PV short-circuit current 12 A. Rated PV wattage for the 24k model is 2200 W.
What is it and does it have a built-in charge controller?
It’s a hybrid AC/DC mini-split that accepts DC directly from solar panels and can blend or fall back to AC power. The outdoor unit has the PV controller built in, so you do not need a separate charge controller or inverter for daytime solar operation.
What is the operating temperature range?
Outdoor temps: Cooling 0–55°C. Heating −20–30°C. Indoor room operating range: Cooling 16–32°C. Heating 0–32°C. Performance is best within these ranges.
Can it run solar-only, and what AC power does it accept?
Yes. It can run solar-only during the day. Minimum PV to start is 90 VDC. For backup or night use, the 24k model takes 208–240 VAC and includes an AC-power-limiter feature to cap utility or generator draw.
