1. Philippines

FAQ: EM Series Hybrid Inverter for the Philippine Market

Q1: Is this inverter strong enough to survive frequent typhoons and high humidity?
A: The inverter is built to be robust. While it should be installed in a protected location, its construction and non-condensing humidity tolerance (5%-95%) make it resilient to the challenging tropical climate of the Philippines.

Q2: Can it provide power during frequent brownouts?
A: Yes, this is one of its primary functions. The automatic and rapid switch to battery backup (in 10-20ms) ensures your household or business remains powered during common brownouts.

Q3: Is it easy to find a technician to install and service this unit?
A: The installation is straightforward for a qualified electrician. We are also expanding our network of trained partners and technicians across the Philippines to provide reliable installation and after-sales service.

Q4: What does "Admissible Power Factor 0.6~1" mean for my appliances?
A: This means the inverter can efficiently power a wide range of appliances, including those with inductive motors (like fans, fridge compressors) which have a lower power factor, without causing overloads or inefficiencies.

Q5: Can I use a generator as the AC input for backup charging?
A: Yes, the AC input can be connected to the grid or a generator. This provides a flexible backup charging source for your batteries during prolonged periods of bad weather when solar generation is low.

Q6: How does the high PV voltage range help with system design?
A: The 60-500Vdc MPPT range allows you to connect longer strings of panels with fewer cables and lower current, reducing installation costs and improving efficiency, which is ideal for larger rooftop installations.

2. Mexico

FAQ: EM Series Hybrid Inverter for the Mexican Market

Q1: Is the inverter certified by the CRE (Comisión Reguladora de Energía) in Mexico?
A: Our products are designed to meet international safety standards (CE, RoHS). For specific CRE requirements for interconnection, we recommend consulting with your installer. The EM Series is perfectly suited for off-grid and backup power applications, which are widely used across Mexico.

Q2: Can it handle the power fluctuations common in some Mexican grids?
A: Sí, definitivamente (Yes, definitely). The wide AC input voltage range (90V-280V) acts as a built-in stabilizer, protecting your connected appliances and the inverter itself from damage caused by unstable grid voltage.

Q3: Is the WiFi monitoring secure and reliable?
A: Yes, the optional WiFi module uses secure communication protocols to ensure your data is safe. It provides a reliable connection to monitor your energy production and consumption from anywhere.

Q4: What is the benefit of the "High Efficiency" rating for my wallet?
A: A high peak efficiency of 96% means that very little solar energy is wasted as heat during conversion. This translates directly into more usable power for your home and lower electricity bills, maximizing your return on investment.

Q5: Can I use this system to power a small business like a tienda or restaurant?
A: Yes, the higher-capacity models (5.5KW, 6.2KW) are excellent for small commercial establishments. They can power lighting, point-of-sale systems, refrigerators, and other essential equipment, providing significant savings and backup during outages.

Q6: How does the BMS communication extend the life of my lithium battery?
A: By communicating directly with the Battery Management System (BMS), the inverter optimizes charging and discharging parameters specifically for that battery. This prevents over-charging and deep-discharging, which are the main factors that shorten battery lifespan.

3. Kenya

FAQ: EM Series Hybrid Inverter for the Kenyan Market

Q1: Is this a good solution for areas with no grid connection in rural Kenya?
A: Absolutely. The EM Series is a perfect all-in-one solution for complete off-grid living. It combines a solar charger, inverter, and charger in one unit, making it ideal for powering homes, schools, or clinics in remote areas.

Q2: Can it be used with a car battery in an emergency?
A: While technically possible, we do not recommend it. The inverter is designed for 24V or 48V deep-cycle battery banks (lead-acid or lithium). Car batteries are not designed for deep cycling and would be damaged quickly.

Q3: How does the MPPT benefit my system compared to a cheaper PWM controller?
A: An MPPT controller is up to 30% more efficient than a PWM controller. It extracts the maximum possible power from your solar panels, meaning you get more energy from the same number of panels, which is a critical cost-saving factor.

Q4: Is the unit protected against lightning and surges?
A: The inverter includes basic surge protection. However, in areas prone to lightning strikes, like some regions in Kenya, we highly recommend installing external lightning arrestors and surge protectors on both the AC and DC sides for complete protection.

Q5: What does "CC/CV Charging" mean for my battery?
A: CC/CV (Constant Current/Constant Voltage) is the professional and recommended method for charging batteries. It ensures a fast yet safe charge, prolonging the life of your battery bank, whether it's lead-acid or lithium.

Q6: Can I power a water pump for my farm with this inverter?
A: Yes, the high surge power capability allows it to start the motor of a submersible or surface water pump. The 5.5KW and 6.2KW models are particularly well-suited for such agricultural applications.
