FELICITY IVGMS0KHP361 50kW Hybrid Inverter (Three Phase), Built-in 4pcs 16.25kW MPPT, WiFi Module

FELICITY IVGMS0KHP361 is the absolute pinnacle of the FELICITY solar inverter range — a landmark 50kW three phase hybrid inverter engineered for the largest industrial facilities, commercial complexes, institutional campuses, and utility-scale off-grid and hybrid solar installations in Kenya that demand maximum solar generation capacity, highest three phase AC output, and enterprise-grade intelligent energy management in a single certified unit. Featuring four independent built-in 16.25kW MPPT solar charge controllers delivering a combined 65kW of total solar input capacity — by far the highest solar harvest capability of any FELICITY inverter — and an integrated WiFi monitoring module, the IVGMS0KHP361 operates at a fundamentally different scale from any other product in the FELICITY range.

The H designation in the model name confirms its hybrid architecture — the IVGMS0KHP361 is purpose-built for seamless integration between solar generation, battery storage, and grid supply in large commercial and industrial environments, managing all three energy sources simultaneously and intelligently to maximize self-consumption, minimize utility costs, and maintain uninterrupted power across the full facility load profile.

At 50kW with 65kW of quad MPPT solar input, the IVGMS0KHP361 steps into utility-adjacent territory — delivering solar power capacity that transforms the economics of energy for Kenya’s largest energy consumers operating on KPLC’s industrial and large commercial tariff tiers.


The FELICITY Three Phase Range — Full Capacity Progression

Model Output MPPT Controllers Total Solar Input Architecture
IVGM16KLP361 16KVA 2 × 12.8kW 25.6kW Standard
IVGM20KLP361 20KVA 2 × 16kW 32kW Standard
IVGMS0KHP361 50kW 4 × 16.25kW 65kW Hybrid

The IVGMS0KHP361 is not simply a scaled-up version of the 16KVA or 20KVA models — it represents a step-change in both architecture and capability. The transition from dual to quad MPPT controllers, the jump from 20KVA to 50kW output, and the full hybrid grid-battery-solar management architecture place the IVGMS0KHP361 in an entirely different performance and application tier from the rest of the FELICITY inverter range.


Hybrid Architecture — What Makes the IVGMS0KHP361 Different

The hybrid designation is the most important technical distinction of the IVGMS0KHP361. Unlike standard solar inverters that prioritize between solar, battery, and grid in a fixed hierarchy, the IVGMS0KHP361’s hybrid architecture manages all three energy sources simultaneously and dynamically — continuously optimizing energy flow in real time based on solar availability, battery state of charge, grid tariff conditions, and facility load demand:

Standard Inverter Energy Management: Solar → Battery → Load (fixed priority sequence)

Hybrid Inverter Energy Management: Solar + Battery + Grid → Load (simultaneous dynamic optimization)

Capability Standard Inverter Hybrid (IVGMS0KHP361)
Solar self-consumption Basic priority Maximized dynamically
Grid export (feed-in) Limited/none Configurable grid export
Peak shaving No Yes — active demand management
Time-of-use optimization No Yes — KPLC tariff alignment
Load shifting No Yes — schedule-based control
Generator integration Basic Seamless auto-start/stop
Grid-tied operation Limited Full grid-tied hybrid
Zero export mode No Yes — prevent grid export
Demand response No Yes — utility program compatible

For Kenya’s large commercial and industrial electricity consumers — where KPLC’s commercial and industrial tariffs include demand charges, peak period pricing, and reactive power penalties — the IVGMS0KHP361’s hybrid intelligence delivers energy cost reductions across multiple dimensions simultaneously, not just through solar self-consumption alone.


Why Choose the FELICITY IVGMS0KHP361?

50kW — Kenya’s Most Powerful Single-Unit FELICITY Inverter At 50kW continuous three phase output, the IVGMS0KHP361 handles load demands that require multiple standard inverters operating in parallel — delivering the reliability, simplicity, and cost efficiency of a single-unit solution at a scale previously requiring complex multi-inverter configurations. For facilities currently importing 50kW or more from KPLC, a fully solar-equipped IVGMS0KHP361 installation fundamentally transforms the facility’s energy economics.

65kW Quad MPPT — Transformative Solar Harvest at Industrial Scale Four independent 16.25kW MPPT controllers push combined solar input to 65,000W — capable of absorbing the output of approximately 112 FELICITY 580W Mono Bifacial panels across four completely independent strings. At Kenya’s average of 5–6 peak sun hours per day, a fully loaded IVGMS0KHP361 solar array can generate 325–390kWh of solar energy daily — delivering KES 6,500–9,750 of solar energy value per day at KPLC’s commercial rate, or approximately KES 2.37M–3.56M annually before utility import.

Four Independent MPPT Strings — Maximum Array Design Flexibility The quad MPPT architecture provides solar installation design flexibility unavailable in any other FELICITY inverter:

  • Four independent roof sections or orientations can each be connected to a dedicated MPPT controller — north, south, east, and west facing arrays tracked independently for maximum all-day generation
  • Four separate ground-mount array rows with different tilt angles or inter-row shading profiles managed independently
  • Phased solar installation — commission one or two MPPT strings immediately and activate additional strings as the solar project expands
  • Mixed panel configurations — different panel brands, wattages, or string lengths on separate controllers without any cross-string interference or performance compromise
  • Fault isolation — a fault or shading event on one string affects only that MPPT controller, not the other three strings

Enterprise-Grade Hybrid Intelligence The IVGMS0KHP361’s hybrid control system continuously monitors and manages energy across all sources and loads — executing sophisticated energy management strategies that standard inverters cannot approach:

  • Dynamic solar maximization — prioritizes solar self-consumption across all facility loads before drawing from battery or grid
  • Battery charge scheduling — charges battery from cheap off-peak grid power for discharge during expensive peak tariff periods
  • Peak demand shaving — limits maximum grid import to reduce KPLC demand charges on commercial tariffs
  • Zero export mode — prevents solar energy export to the grid where feed-in tariffs are unavailable or zero-export is required by the utility
  • Generator auto-start — automatically starts and stops backup generator based on battery state of charge and load demand thresholds
  • Load priority management — configurable essential vs non-essential load management for critical backup scenarios

Key Features & Specifications

50kW Three Phase Pure Sine Wave Output Delivers 50,000W of balanced three phase pure sine wave AC output — approximately 16,667W per phase — with low total harmonic distortion (THD) maintained across the full industrial load range. At 50kW, the IVGMS0KHP361 powers entire industrial floors, multi-building campuses, and large commercial facilities simultaneously from a single inverter output — eliminating the complexity, cost, and failure points of multi-inverter parallel configurations at equivalent capacity.

The pure sine wave output simultaneously protects all categories of sensitive industrial equipment and handles the most extreme inrush currents encountered in heavy industrial environments — large three phase motor banks, central chiller compressors, industrial welding arrays, CNC machining centres, and data centre UPS systems — without output voltage disturbance to other phases or connected equipment.

Quad Built-In 16.25kW MPPT Solar Charge Controllers (4 × 16.25kW = 65kW Total) Four fully independent 16.25kW MPPT charge controllers — delivering a combined solar input of 65,000W, the highest of any FELICITY product — each independently tracking and maximizing power extraction from its dedicated solar string under all irradiance conditions. The quad architecture enables:

  • Maximum array segregation — four completely independent PV strings with no electrical interaction between strings
  • Independent fault management — string-level fault detection and isolation per MPPT controller
  • Granular performance monitoring — individual string yield monitoring per controller via WiFi app for precision maintenance and performance optimization
  • Flexible commissioning — bring individual MPPT strings online independently as the solar installation progresses
