Description

FELICITY IVGM20KLP361 20kVA 48V Three Phase, Built-in 2pcs 16kW MPPT, WiFi Module

FELICITY IVGM20KLP361 is the most powerful inverter in the entire FELICITY product range — a flagship 20KVA 48V three phase pure sine wave inverter engineered for the largest commercial buildings, heavy industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and mission-critical infrastructure in Kenya requiring maximum three phase solar power capacity, uncompromising output reliability, and intelligent large-scale energy management in a single integrated unit. Featuring two independent built-in 16kW MPPT solar charge controllers delivering a combined 32kW of total solar input capacity — the highest solar harvest capability of any FELICITY inverter — and an integrated WiFi monitoring module, the IVGM20KLP361 sets the performance ceiling of the FELICITY commercial and industrial solar range.

Stepping up from the 16KVA IVGM16KLP361, the IVGM20KLP361 adds 4KVA of additional three phase output capacity and upgrades each MPPT controller from 12.8kW to 16kW — delivering 25% more AC output power and 25% more solar input capacity in the same three phase architecture. For industrial energy managers, facilities engineers, and solar project designers specifying the maximum single-unit solar power capacity available in the FELICITY ecosystem, the IVGM20KLP361 is the definitive specification.


IVGM16KLP361 vs IVGM20KLP361 — Choosing the Right Three Phase Capacity

Both models share identical three phase architecture, dual MPPT design, WiFi monitoring, and 48V battery compatibility. The specification decision is driven purely by load capacity and solar array size requirements:

Feature IVGM16KLP361 IVGM20KLP361
Rated Output 16KVA 20KVA
Output per Phase ~5,333VA ~6,667VA
MPPT per Controller 12,800W 16,000W
Total Solar Input 25,600W 32,000W
580W Panels (total) ~44 panels ~55 panels
Best for Large commercial, industrial Maximum industrial, large campus

If your three phase load regularly exceeds 14–15KVA, or your solar array design requires more than 25.6kW of MPPT input capacity, the IVGM20KLP361 is the correct specification — providing the additional headroom that ensures the inverter never operates at its limits, reducing thermal stress, extending service life, and maintaining stable three phase output voltage under peak industrial load conditions.


Why Choose the FELICITY IVGM20KLP361?

The Absolute Peak of the FELICITY Inverter Range At 20KVA three phase output with 32kW of dual MPPT solar input, the IVGM20KLP361 represents the maximum single-unit solar power capacity available in the FELICITY product ecosystem. No other FELICITY inverter delivers more AC output, more solar input, or more per-phase capacity from a single unit — making it the unambiguous specification choice for the most demanding industrial and commercial solar projects in Kenya.

32kW Solar Input — Maximum Daily Energy Harvest The dual 16kW MPPT controllers push combined solar input to 32,000W — capable of absorbing the output of approximately 55 FELICITY 580W Mono Bifacial panels across two independent strings. At Kenya’s average of 5–6 peak sun hours per day, a fully loaded IVGM20KLP361 solar array can generate 160–192kWh of solar energy daily — delivering transformative energy cost savings for high-consumption industrial and commercial facilities operating on KPLC’s commercial and industrial tariff structures.

20KVA Three Phase Headroom for Heavy Industrial Loads Operating at 20KVA provides substantial output headroom above typical industrial load profiles — ensuring the inverter runs comfortably below its rated limit under normal operating conditions. This headroom is critical for industrial environments where load spikes, motor startups, and simultaneous equipment activation create transient demand peaks that would push a tightly rated inverter into protection mode or cause output voltage instability across all three phases.


Key Features & Specifications

20KVA / 20,000W Three Phase Pure Sine Wave Output Delivers 20,000VA of balanced three phase pure sine wave AC output — approximately 6,667VA per phase — with low total harmonic distortion (THD) maintained across the full industrial load range. The pure sine wave output simultaneously protects sensitive industrial control electronics, variable-frequency drives (VFDs), servo systems, and precision instrumentation while handling the extreme inrush currents of large three phase motor loads, central HVAC compressors, industrial presses, and manufacturing equipment under simultaneous startup conditions.

The balanced three phase output maintains equal voltage and current distribution across L1, L2, and L3 under all load conditions — preventing neutral current overload, phase voltage imbalance, and the equipment damage and efficiency losses that unbalanced three phase loading causes in industrial distribution systems.

Dual Built-In 16kW MPPT Solar Charge Controllers (2 × 16kW = 32kW Total) Two fully independent 16kW MPPT charge controllers — the highest per-controller rating in the entire FELICITY product range — deliver a combined solar input capacity of 32,000W. Each controller independently tracks and maximizes power extraction from its dedicated solar array string under all irradiance and shading conditions, enabling:

  • Massive east-west split commercial rooftop arrays — independent optimization of morning east-facing and afternoon west-facing generation from large commercial roof sections
  • Large multi-row ground-mount configurations — independent MPPT tracking across different array rows, tilt angles, or orientations in large commercial and industrial ground-mount solar parks
  • High-wattage bifacial panel strings — optimized extraction from large strings of FELICITY 580W Mono Bifacial panels or equivalent high-wattage commercial panels
  • Phase-aligned solar input management — dedicated solar string per controller aligned with specific phase load profiles for precision energy flow management
  • Phased solar array commissioning — activate controller 1 with the initial solar array immediately and connect controller 2 as the project expands to full design capacity

No external charge controllers required — both 16kW controllers are fully integrated, certified, and warranted as part of the IVGM20KLP361 unit.

48V Battery System Compatibility The IVGM20KLP361 operates on a 48V battery bank supporting LiFePO4 lithium, AGM, Gel, and Flooded lead-acid battery chemistries with chemistry-specific charging profiles. For a 20KVA three phase inverter, the FELICITY FLA48300TG2 native 48V 300Ah 15kWh battery is the recommended storage solution — with multiple units connected in parallel to achieve the backup duration required for the specific facility load profile and operational requirements.

WiFi Monitoring Module The integrated WiFi module connects the IVGM20KLP361 to the facility network for comprehensive real-time remote monitoring and management via smartphone app. Monitor each 16kW MPPT string’s solar production independently, three phase output load per phase in real time, battery state of charge and charging current, active operating mode, system efficiency metrics, historical energy production and consumption data, and active fault or warning alerts — from anywhere, at any time. Critical for facilities managers overseeing large industrial sites, multi-building campuses, or remote commercial installations where continuous system visibility directly impacts operational uptime and energy cost management.

Three Phase Output Load Balancing The IVGM20KLP361 actively manages and automatically balances output voltage across all three phases — compensating in real time for uneven load distribution across L1, L2, and L3 to maintain balanced phase voltages under the dynamic load variations typical of industrial environments. Automatic phase balancing protects connected three phase equipment from voltage imbalance-induced overheating, reduced motor efficiency, increased current draw, and premature equipment failure — maintaining the output power quality that industrial operations demand.

Multiple Operating Modes Fully configurable priority modes — Solar First, Utility First, and Battery First — with independently adjustable AC charging current limits, solar charging current parameters, battery reserve thresholds, and transfer switching timing. Industrial energy managers and facilities engineers can configure the IVGM20KLP361 to maximize solar self-consumption during peak tariff periods, maintain critical battery reserve for emergency backup scenarios, minimize utility import costs aligned with KPLC’s time-of-use commercial tariff structure, or optimize dynamically across all objectives simultaneously.

Wide Dual PV Input Voltage Range Each independent 16kW MPPT controller accepts a wide solar panel input voltage range, supporting large multi-panel high-voltage series string configurations for commercial and industrial solar arrays — compatible with high-wattage monocrystalline, PERC, TOPCon, and bifacial panels including the FELICITY 580W Mono Bifacial panel and equivalent commercial-grade high-wattage panels.

Comprehensive LCD Display Panel A full-featured LCD screen delivers real-time visibility across all critical system parameters simultaneously — dual MPPT solar input power and voltage per controller, three phase AC output load per phase, battery voltage and state of charge percentage, grid input status per phase, active operating mode, system efficiency, and active fault or warning codes — enabling complete system assessment and operational monitoring without requiring remote app or laptop access during installation, commissioning, and routine maintenance.
