ESSential Series

Manufactured in Victoria, this new scalable off-grid solution provides complete ease, flexibility and adaptability for any household or commercial operation wanting a pre-wired, programmed and ready for solar and AC connection solution for their energy needs.

Built with the installer and end-user in mind, everything from the aesthetic to the modular design has been thought of – to provide a range of standard solutions suited for a range of household, commercial operations or for those out in the field where reliable electricity supply is a priority. 

Where required, the configurations can be customised, based on key components, meaning this really is a fit-for-purpose solution…whatever the purpose.

IP55-rated and heavily insulated, it is fitted with fan-forced cooling across all areas and optional air-conditioning for warmer climates.

The cabinet can be scaled up to a three-cabinet configuration and is pre-wired, programmed and ready for solar and generator in, and AC output connection.

Purpose built aluminium cabinet for ease of manoeuvrability during installation. The aluminium cabinet is also resistant to corrosion in coastal conditions.

Every cabinet is factory-tested to reduce time at site  and overall customer satisfaction.

All ESSential Cabinets are constructed with high grade aluminium and have insulated interior lining, venting fans and Discover LYNK-II monitoring.
