Strengths
- 3,600W rated / 7,000W peak pure sine wave inverter
- 2,400W solar input across two XT60 ports (32-150V)
- 3,200W AC input with the 30A cable, about 1.3 hours to full
- Expands to 18,432Wh with four EP3800-48V batteries
Watch out for
- Around 79 lb before expansion batteries
- With the 15A cable, AC input drops to 1,800W and UPS protection to 1,800W loads
- UPS switchover is 8-20 ms; Pecron says it is not for loads needing under 8 ms
- 240V output requires pairing two units with a separate 240V box

What will it run, and for how long?
| Appliance | Draw | Inverter | Runtime | Runtime as a share of 24 hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ResMed AirSense 11 CPAP | 56 W | Runs | 47 h | |
| Wi-Fi router | 6.5 W | Runs | 16.7 days | |
| Smartphone charger | 10 W | Runs | 10.9 days | |
| Laptop computer | 50 W | Runs | 2.2 days | |
| LED bulb (60 W equivalent) | 9 W | Runs | 12.1 days | |
| Full-size refrigerator (ENERGY STAR) | 160 Wavg 51 W cycling | Runs | 2.1 days | |
| 12V portable fridge (Dometic CFX5 45) | 58 Wavg 7 W cycling | Runs | 15.6 days | |
| LED/LCD TV (about 45-inch) | 162 W | Runs | 16 h | |
| Window fan | 153 W | Runs | 17 h | |
| Drip coffee maker | 1,300 W | Runs | 2.0 h | |

| Submersible sump pump (1/2 HP) | 1,000 W3,000 W to start | Runs | 2.6 h |
Runtime = usable energy ÷ average draw. We count 85% of the rated 3,072 Wh as usable (2,611 Wh) to cover inverter and DC conversion losses. Fridges and freezers are averaged over their compressor cycle. An appliance runs only if its running watts fit the 3,600 W inverter and its start-up surge fits the 7,000 W surge rating. Wattages come from our appliance wattage table; try your own mix in the runtime calculator.

Recharge time is from empty with one panel in full sun: 3,072 Wh ÷ the lower of75% of the panel's rating or the station's solar input limit. A panel rated above the input limit is safe as long as its Voc fits, because the station only draws what it can take. MC4 panels need a standard MC4 adapter cable, which many stations include. Wiring two panels in series doubles the Voc, so check the total against the voltage window. Try any pairing in the solar panel matcher.
