Southwest Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, Inc.
212 East Main, Tomball, Texas 77375 • Ph: 281.351.0031 • Fax: 281.351.8356

Off Grid: Widely used throughout the world as a primary source of AC electricity, the PS offers sine wave, utility grade output power, high capacity battery charger, high-surge current ability (inrush current), and easy installation.

Backup Power: When the utility fails, the PS Series instantly supplies AC power to critical loads. When utility power returns, it can automatically recharge your batteries in preparation for the next power interruption.

Features

  • 2500 watts of continuous power.
  • Sine wave output for clean,utility grade power.
  • Quiet, high-efficiency operation.
  • Three-stage battery charging system (bulk, absorption, and float) with automatic temperature compensation ensures your batteries are properly maintained.
  • Surge capacity of 2.5 times peak power rating starts even the most demanding loads.
  • Low power consumption (preserves battery capacity).
  • Low battery, overload and overcharge protection circuitry.
  • Seamless transfer switching (grid /generator to battery and battery to grid /generator).

Options

  • Optional SWRC remote allows expanded programming capacity.
  • Optional Generator Start Module (GSM) supports automatic generator start and stop.
  • Stackable design for 120/240 VAC,three-wire, 60 Hz power applications.
