Smart RE Grid Tie Inverter with Battery Backup
The SmartRE (Smart Renewable Energy) solution from OutBack Power is a simplified grid-tie inverter with backup power for residential and small commercial applications. Designed with an emphasis on ease of installation, a SmartRE solution installs and operates similarly to basic grid-tie solar inverters but with the additional benefit of providing UPS quality battery backup during utility outages. An integrated ultra-fast AC transfer switch guarantees that even computers and other sensitive backup loads never know when a utility outage occurs. Recommended AGM batteries are maintained and charged by an innovative OutBack multi-stage charging process. This valuable feature assists in providing reliable backup power and will help extend your battery life up to 10 years.
The SmartRE is a versatile product and can be installed indoors or outdoors. It’s available in power levels up to 3kW. They can be either wall or pad mounted, making this the most versatile grid-tie with battery backup solution on the market. A standard 5-year warranty, with an option to add an additional five year warranty, provides peace of mind.
