The 'Weekender' Off Grid System is designed for those that are looking for a system to run their weekender or small home with the ability to expand on in time if you wish. The 5kW Inverter is a great size as it will run all of your every day appliances (not all at once) like your fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, washing machine, with an additional battery you can even run a small to medium air conditioner and dishwasher from the system meaning you can live comfortably.
The Apollo Maxx All-in-one Inverter Charger features a low frequency toroidal transformer meaning it has the grunt to run heavier loads such as air conditioners and pumps that cheap high frequency inverters can’t run. The beauty of a low frequency inverter creates its 240v power with a transformer with only two moving parts. Compared to a high frequency inverter which has thousands of capacitors creating 240v with high frequency it has hundreds more moving parts meaning a significantly higher chance of failure, and also without a transformer it doesn’t have the ability to handle surge capacity for air conditioners and pumps that have a high start up current.
Peace of mind is an important facet of living self sufficiently or off grid. The 5kW Inverter is covered by an outstanding 5 year replacement or repair warranty.Â
