A&E 2.5KVA HYBRID INVERTER

The A&E 2.5KVA/24V Hybrid Inverter is a transformer-based power solution specifically designed for the Nigerian energy landscape. It integrates a pure sine wave inverter with a built-in MPPT solar charge controller, making it an all-in-one "plug-and-play" unit for solar transitions.

Available at Kara.com.ng, this model is highly recommended for small to medium-sized households looking for a durable, solar-ready backup system.

A&E 2.5KVA Hybrid Inverter Price in Nigeria (2026 Update)

The price of the A&E 2.5KVA unit reflects its "Transformer-Based" build—which is generally more rugged and durable than high-frequency (non-transformer) models.

Buying Tip: Because this is a 24V system, you will need a minimum of two 12V batteries (connected in series) to operate it. We recommend using 200Ah or 220Ah Tubular batteries for the best deep-cycle performance.

Key Specifications (Copy-Paste Friendly)

1. Capacity: 2.5KVA / 2500VA (Approx. 2000W continuous load)
2. System Voltage: 24V DC (Requires 2 Batteries)
3. Technology: Copper Transformer-Based (Rugged & Reliable)
4. Charge Controller: Built-in 60A MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)
5. Output Waveform: Pure Sine Wave (Safe for sensitive electronics)
6. Efficiency: >95%
7. Display: Comprehensive LCD for real-time monitoring (Load, Battery, Solar input)
8. Solar Input: Supports direct connection of solar panels (up to ~1600W to 2000W of panels)

Why Choose the A&E 2.5KVA Hybrid?

1. MPPT Technology: The built-in 60A MPPT controller is 30% more efficient than standard PWM controllers. It extracts maximum power from your solar panels even on cloudy days in Lagos or during the Harmattan in the North.
2. Transformer-Based Durability: Unlike cheaper electronic models, transformer-based inverters can handle the "inductive start-up surge" of motors (like fans and small pumps) without burning out.
3. Pure Sine Wave: This ensures your appliances—especially fans, TVs, and laptops—run silently without the "humming" noise or electrical interference caused by modified sine wave inverters.
4. Hybrid Functionality: You can prioritize your power source. For example, you can set it to use Solar first, then Battery, and only switch to NEPA/Generator when the others are unavailable.

What Can This Inverter Power?

A 2.5KVA system is perfect for a standard 2-bedroom apartment or a small office. It can comfortably power:

1. 6 to 10 LED Bulbs
2. 3 to 5 Standing Fans
3. 1 or 2 Large Smart TVs
4. Laptops and Sound Systems
5. One Small Energy-Efficient Fridge (Inverter-type fridge is highly recommended)
6. Note: This unit is NOT designed to power Air Conditioners or Electric Irons.

Maintenance & Installation Tips

1. Battery Matching: Always use two batteries of the same age and brand. Mixing an old battery with a new one will damage the new one within months.
2. Ventilation: Place the inverter in a well-ventilated area. Transformers generate heat during heavy loads, and the internal fan needs clear airflow to keep the unit cool.
3. Dust Control: Use a dry cloth to wipe the top of the unit once a week. In Nigeria’s dusty environment, dust can clog the internal fan, leading to overheating and "System Fault" errors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: "Can I start with just batteries and add solar panels later?"

A: Yes! It works perfectly as a standard inverter/UPS. You can add panels whenever your budget allows to reduce your dependence on the grid.

Q: "Is it compatible with Lithium batteries?"

A: Most modern A&E hybrid models allow for user-defined charging parameters, making them compatible with 24V Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries.

Q: "What is the warranty?"

A: Purchases from Kara Nigeria typically come with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty against factory defects.
