The inverter supports a maximum battery charging and discharging current of up to 270A and a maximum battery charging and discharging power of up to 13000W. A correctly sized battery bank is important when using a high-output inverter of this size, especially where heavier electrical loads or longer backup periods are required.

Generator Support

The LuxPower 14kW Hybrid Inverter includes a dedicated generator port for additional backup flexibility. The generator port supports auto start-stop functionality when used with compatible generator equipment and correct system configuration. The dedicated generator input can also be used for smart load management and integration with an existing grid-tied solar system. This makes the inverter suitable for farms, businesses and properties where additional backup power may be needed during extended grid failures or periods of reduced solar production.

Backup Power and UPS Functionality

The LuxPower 14kW Hybrid Inverter provides fast UPS switching with a transfer time of less than 10ms. This helps maintain power to suitable essential loads during electricity interruptions. The inverter produces a sine wave AC output suitable for common household appliances, office equipment and business loads. The final backup capability depends on the connected battery capacity, electrical load profile and overall solar system design.

Smart Monitoring and Communication

The LuxPower 14kW Hybrid Inverter includes an LCD and RGB display for local system information. It also supports RS485, WiFi and CAN communication for compatible battery integration and remote monitoring. Remote monitoring allows customers and installers to review important solar system information, including solar panel production, battery performance, grid usage and power flow data.

Parallel Expansion

The LuxPower SNA2-EU-LT inverter range supports the parallel connection of up to 16 compatible units for larger on-grid or off-grid systems. This allows customers to expand their solar installation when higher power output is required. Parallel inverter installations require professional planning, correctly sized battery storage, suitable cabling, protection equipment and proper commissioning.
