Sona Solar Expert Review: The MUST PV1800 3.6kW 24V Hybrid Inverter
At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, we understand that the right inverter is the intelligent heart of a reliable solar system. As your trusted Solar Experts, we evaluate the best components for tackling Zimbabwe's unstable grid. Here's our in-depth look at the MUST PV1800 3.6kW 24V Hybrid Inverter.
Key Features for Zimbabwean Conditions
This substantial power rating is enough to run most essential household appliances—and many non-essentials—simultaneously. It is the perfect capacity for ensuring comfort and productivity during load shedding.
This inverter intelligently manages power from three sources: solar panels, batteries, and the grid. It can prioritize solar to save you money, switch seamlessly to battery for backup, and charge from the grid as a last resort, which is invaluable in our local power environment.
A major advantage for maximizing your solar investment. A 100 Amp Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller is highly efficient, harvesting up to 30% more energy from your panels than older PWM types. This means faster battery charging and more usable solar power throughout the day.
Operating at 24 Volts is the industry standard for inverters of this size. It provides a perfect balance of safety, performance, and cost-effectiveness for residential solar systems, making it straightforward for our Sona Solar installation teams.
