FELICITY IVGM16KLP361 16kVA 48V Three Phase, Built-in 2pcs 12.8kW MPPT, WiFi Module

FELICITY IVGM16KLP361 is a premium 16KVA 48V three phase pure sine wave inverter representing the most powerful and technically advanced product in the FELICITY inverter range — engineered specifically for large industrial facilities, commercial buildings, manufacturing operations, and high-demand three phase off-grid and hybrid solar installations that require balanced three phase AC output, massive solar input capacity, and intelligent remote energy management in a single integrated unit. Featuring two independent built-in 12.8kW MPPT solar charge controllers delivering a combined 25.6kW of total solar input capacity, and an integrated WiFi monitoring module, the IVGM16KLP361 is the definitive all-in-one three phase solar power solution for Kenya’s most demanding commercial and industrial energy environments.

The critical distinction of the IVGM16KLP361 from all other products in the FELICITY range is its three phase output — delivering balanced L1, L2, and L3 phase power simultaneously for direct compatibility with three phase electrical infrastructure, three phase motor loads, industrial machinery, and commercial building distribution boards designed for three phase supply. Where single phase inverters serve residential and light commercial loads, the IVGM16KLP361 operates at the level of industrial power infrastructure.

Single Phase vs Three Phase — Why Three Phase Matters at Industrial Scale

Understanding when three phase power is required is fundamental to specifying the correct inverter for large commercial and industrial installations:

Three phase power is the standard electrical infrastructure for all industrial facilities, large commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, hotels above a certain size, hospitals, and any installation running three phase motors, lifts, central HVAC systems, or industrial machinery. The IVGM16KLP361 connects directly into existing three phase distribution infrastructure without modification — making it the correct inverter specification for any facility currently drawing from a three phase KPLC supply.

Why Choose the FELICITY IVGM16KLP361?

The Most Powerful Single-Unit FELICITY Inverter At 16KVA three phase output, the IVGM16KLP361 delivers more total power capacity than any other single inverter unit in the FELICITY range — including the 12KVA IVEM 12048-II. The three phase architecture distributes this output across three balanced phases, enabling simultaneous powering of diverse load types across a full industrial or commercial facility without the phase imbalance limitations of single phase systems.

25.6kW Combined Solar Input — The Highest in the FELICITY Range The dual 12.8kW MPPT controllers deliver a combined 25.6kW of solar input capacity — the highest solar harvest capability of any single FELICITY inverter unit. This massive solar input capacity supports large commercial and industrial rooftop solar arrays, enabling significant daytime self-consumption, fast battery charging, and meaningful reduction of industrial electricity bills even at high load levels.

Industrial System Simplification For industrial and large commercial solar projects, the IVGM16KLP361 consolidates what would otherwise require separate three phase inverter, dual charge controller, monitoring system, and integration components into a single certified unit — dramatically reducing system complexity, installation cost, commissioning time, and long-term maintenance requirements across the installation lifecycle.

Key Features & Specifications

16KVA / 16,000W Three Phase Pure Sine Wave Output Delivers 16,000VA of balanced three phase pure sine wave AC output — approximately 5,333VA per phase — with low total harmonic distortion (THD) across the full load range. The pure sine wave output simultaneously protects sensitive industrial electronics and handles the high inrush currents of three phase motor loads, central HVAC systems, industrial compressors, and manufacturing equipment at startup and under fluctuating load conditions.

The balanced three phase output ensures equal voltage and current distribution across all three phases — preventing the neutral current overload and equipment damage that unbalanced phase loading causes in three phase distribution systems.

Dual Built-In 12.8kW MPPT Solar Charge Controllers (2 × 12.8kW = 25.6kW Total) Two fully independent 12.8kW MPPT charge controllers — the highest per-controller rating in the FELICITY product range — deliver a combined solar input capacity of 25.6kW. Each controller independently tracks and maximizes power extraction from its dedicated solar array string, enabling:

• East-west split commercial rooftop arrays — independent optimization of morning and afternoon solar generation from differently oriented roof sections
• Large ground-mount multi-string configurations — independent MPPT tracking across large panel arrays with multiple rows or orientations
• Mixed panel configurations — different panel brands, wattages, or string lengths on separate controllers without cross-interference
• Phase-segregated solar arrays — dedicated solar input per controller aligned with specific phase load profiles for optimized energy management
• Staged solar array expansion — connect the first array to controller 1 immediately and expand to controller 2 as the solar project scales

No external charge controllers required — both 12.8kW controllers are fully integrated into the unit.

48V Battery System Compatibility The IVGM16KLP361 operates on a 48V battery bank — supporting LiFePO4 lithium, AGM, Gel, and Flooded lead-acid battery chemistries with chemistry-specific charging profiles. At 16KVA on a 48V system, the battery bank sizing requirements are significant — large lithium battery banks using multiple FELICITY FLA12200 units in series-parallel configuration are the recommended storage solution for this inverter tier.

WiFi Monitoring Module The integrated WiFi module connects the IVGM16KLP361 to the facility network, enabling real-time remote monitoring and management via smartphone app. Monitor each MPPT string’s solar production independently, three phase output load per phase, battery state of charge, active operating mode, system alerts, and historical energy production and consumption data — from anywhere, in real time. Essential for facilities managers overseeing multiple sites or large industrial installations where continuous system visibility is operationally critical.

Multiple Operating Modes Fully configurable energy priority modes — Solar First, Utility First, and Battery First — with independently adjustable AC charging current limits and solar charging parameters. Industrial energy managers can configure the system to maximize solar self-consumption, minimize utility import during peak tariff periods, maintain critical battery reserve for emergency backup, or optimize across all three objectives simultaneously based on facility operational requirements and KPLC tariff structure.

Wide Dual PV Input Voltage Range Each independent MPPT controller accepts a wide solar panel input voltage range, supporting large multi-panel series string configurations for commercial and industrial rooftop and ground-mount solar arrays — compatible with high-wattage monocrystalline and bifacial panels including the FELICITY 580W Mono Bifacial panel.

LCD Display Panel A comprehensive LCD screen provides real-time operational visibility across all system parameters — dual MPPT solar input per controller, three phase output load per phase, battery voltage and state of charge, grid input status, active operating mode, and fault indicators — enabling rapid system assessment and operational monitoring without requiring remote app access.

Three Phase Output Balancing The IVGM16KLP361 actively manages and balances output across all three phases — automatically compensating for uneven load distribution across L1, L2, and L3 to maintain balanced phase voltages and protect connected three phase equipment from the voltage imbalance that causes overheating, reduced motor efficiency, and premature equipment failure.
