Features & Benefits
Pure Sine Wave: Won’t damage sensitive electronics like lead-acid square wave inverters. Fridge compressor + laptop chargers are safe.
Built-in MPPT: Maximum Power Point Tracking gives 20-30% more solar harvest vs PWM. Charges battery faster from solar.
Hybrid Function: Works 3 modes: Solar priority, AC priority, or Battery priority. Automatically switches to NEPA when sun is low.
Wall-mount Compact: Small size, saves space. Fits inside shop/home.
LCD + Buttons: Easy to set battery type, charge current, output voltage without laptop.
Fast Transfer: 10ms switchover so your decoder/TV won’t go off when NEPA returns.
Lithium Ready: Can charge Ecolion 12V LiFePO₄ batteries with correct voltage settings.

What 1.5kVA / 1200W Can Power
Rule: Don’t exceed 80% = ∼960W continuous for battery life. Surge 3000W handles fridge/AC startup.

Can run together:
TV 120W + 4 LED bulbs 10W×4 + 2 fans 60W×2 + laptop 60W + fridge 150W running = ∼600W → works fine
0.5HP AC 500W + TV + lights = ∼650W → works but battery will drain fast
Water pump 0.5HP 400W + few bulbs = works

Cannot run: 1HP AC, electric cooker, pressing iron, water heater. They’re 1.5kW+.

Solar Panel + Battery Sizing
To charge properly in Abuja sun:
Battery: 12V 200Ah tubular = 2.4kWh, or 12V 100Ah LiFePO₄ = 1.2kWh. Lithium recommended for lifespan.
Solar Panels: 4 × 300W = 1200W panels. MPPT 60A can handle it. Gives ∼5kWh/day with 5hrs sun.
Charge time: 1200W solar can charge 12V 200Ah from 50% to 100% in ∼4-5 hours.

Installation Notes
12V system: Use thick cable 35mm²+ for battery to inverter. 1200W @12V = 100A+.
Panels in series: For MPPT, wire 2 panels in series to reach 60-80V. Don’t exceed 100Voc.
Ventilation: Mount where air flows. Inverter derates power when hot.
Battery settings: If using LiFePO₄, set bulk 14.6V, float 13.6V, cut-off 10.8V in menu.

Price + Use Case – Nigeria
Ecolion 1.5kVA MPPT inverter in Lagos/Abuja market: ₦180k – ₦280k depending on MPPT amps and warranty.
Best for: Mini-flat, shop, office with TV, fridge, lights, fan. Not for whole house + AC.

Bottom line: If your load is under 1kW and you want solar + NEPA backup with pure sine wave, Ecolion 1.5kVA MPPT is entry-level but reliable. Pair it with 12V lithium battery and 1kW+ solar for 24/7 light load.
