Luxpower SNA12000 12kW Hybrid Inverter

Overview – High-power hybrid inverter for serious backup

The Luxpower SNA12000 12kW hybrid inverter (Eco SNA 12–14k series) is designed for customers who need reliable, high-output power from their solar system. It can work both on-grid and off-grid, support large battery banks and handle demanding loads such as pumps, air conditioners and office equipment.

With support for up to 16 inverters in parallel, you can start with one unit and expand your system as your power needs grow.

Key Features

• 12kW hybrid inverter for residential and light commercial systems

• Up to 24kW PV input with 2 MPPTs and 4 PV strings

• 48V / 51.2V battery support – lithium or lead-acid compatible

• High charging and discharging current up to 250A / 270A

• 100A AC passthrough for seamless on-grid integration

• Dual AC output ports for essential and non-essential loads

• Fast UPS functionality with <10ms transfer time

• High efficiency – up to 99% MPPT efficiency

• Smart communication via RS485, Wi-Fi and CAN

• Scalable – parallel up to 16 units

Performance & Solar Input

The Luxpower SNA12000 offers strong PV performance for larger roof arrays:

• Max PV array power: 24,000W

• Number of MPPTs: 2

• Number of PV strings: 4

• MPPT voltage range: 120–440V

• Max input current per MPPT: 35A (44A short-circuit current)

This allows you to connect a large number of panels while keeping them in the optimal operating voltage range for maximum efficiency.

Battery Compatibility & Backup Power

This inverter is designed to work with both 48V / 51.2V lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries, giving you flexibility in design and budget.

• Rated battery voltage: 48 / 51.2V

• Battery voltage range: 46.4–60V / 38.4–60V

• Max charging power: 12,000W

• Max discharging power: 13,000W

It can also force wake the battery from PV or grid, helping recover from deep discharge situations and ensuring reliable backup.

On-Grid, Off-Grid and UPS Function

The Luxpower SNA12000 is ideal if you need a system that can work with or without the grid:

• Rated AC voltage: 230V

• Acceptable input range: 130–280V

• Rated AC input power: 24,000W

• Max continuous AC passthrough current: 100A

For backup power, the inverter operates as a UPS with a transfer time of less than 10ms, helping keep sensitive electronics running smoothly during grid outages.

Protection & Safety

Built-in protections help keep your system safe and extend the life of your equipment:

• PV reverse polarity protection

• Over-current and over-voltage protection

• AC short-circuit protection

• Battery reverse polarity protection

• DC switch and DC/AC surge protection (Type III)

• Grid monitoring and safety according to IEC / EN standards

Design, Cooling and Installation

The Luxpower SNA12000 has a compact wall-mount design with smart cooling:

• Dimensions (W x H x D): 530 x 830 x 150mm

• Weight: 43.5kg

• Ingress protection: IP20 (indoor installation)

• Operating temperature: 0 to 45°C

• Cooling: Smart controlled cooling

• Noise emission: <55dB (typical)

It features a front LCD with RGB indicators and multiple communication ports (RS485 / Wi-Fi / CAN) for integration with monitoring platforms and battery BMS systems.

Ideal For

• Large residential homes needing strong backup capacity

• Small businesses and offices with mixed essential and non-essential loads

• Systems where future expansion (parallel inverters) is important

• Customers wanting to run large solar arrays and high-demand appliances
