Solar. Wind. Hydro. Generator. No matter what your energy source is, OutBack products are engineered to provide your home or business with reliable electricity around-the-clock. The OutBack modular system architecture allows your system to grow along with your power needs up to 36,000 watts. Power hungry appliances like washing machines, air conditioning and power tools are easily started by our inverter's substantial surge power capability. When not in use, the inverter enters a power save mode consuming as little as 3 Watts, saving your battery power for when you need it the most. OutBack's innovative Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology gets the most from your solar array and can also control hydro or wind turbine charging sources. Complete system status and control is easily monitored by a single control, instead of requiring the user to keep an eye on multiple displays and status indicators.
OutBack Power’s true sine wave inverter/charger is a complete power solution. It incorporates a DC to AC sine wave inverter, battery charger and AC transfer relay housed within a die-cast aluminum chassis. Intelligent multi-stage battery charging reduces generator runtime and prolongs the life of your batteries. Built-in networked communications enables multiple units to be stacked and connected with other OutBack Power electronics providing industry-leading integration and near infinite application flexibility. The exclusive modular system architecture means that increased power output is just an additional inverter/charger away. Our flagship FX series uses a sealed chassis that can operate in the harshest environmental conditions such as high humidity and corrosive salt air.
