Key Features

The Celtic Sea inverter is built for flexible, future-ready residential energy systems. With two independent battery inputs, three MPPTs, generator charging support, IP65-rated design, support for AC-coupled installations and dedicated emergency power supply (EPS) capability, it gives homeowners powerful solar, battery and backup control in one compact hybrid inverter platform.

  • Parallel-ready up to 48 kW
    Install up to four 12 kW inverters in parallel to create a scalable 48 kW system for larger homes, commercial properties and higher-demand three-phase installations.

  • Unbalanced three-phase load support
    Supports unbalanced load output in both on-grid and off-grid modes, allowing up to 4 kW of single-phase unbalanced load per phase.

  • Two independent battery inputs
    Capable of connecting any Eleven Energy batteries, regardless if they are different capacities or age.

  • Three MPPT solar inputs
    Optimise generation from up to three PV strings, ideal for roofs with panels facing multiple different directions.

  • Generator charging support
    Dedicated generator input enables backup battery charging when grid or solar supply is limited.

  • Dedicated EPS backup capability
    Keep essential circuits powered during grid outages with a dedicated emergency power supply output.

  • AC-coupled installation support
    Suitable for new solar-plus-storage systems and retrofit battery installations alongside existing PV inverters.

  • IP65-rated outdoor-ready design
    Built for reliable outdoor installation, with a compact 165 mm ultra-thin enclosure.

  • High-efficiency SiC technology
    Silicon carbide power electronics deliver up to 98.2% maximum efficiency and long-term performance

  • Smart Energy Management Platform
    Monitor, control and optimise solar, battery and home energy usage from one intelligent platform.

  • Fast & Intelligent Commissioning
    A streamlined commissioning process helps installers complete setup quickly and confidently.
