A 3 kW single-phase solar inverter.
The Selectronic SP PRO is an Australian-designed, Australian-manufactured hybrid and off-grid inverter from Melbourne. It is the inverter most often specified for high-reliability applications including remote telecommunications, mining-camp power, and high-end residential off-grid systems. Managed AC coupling lets the SP PRO work alongside any grid-connect solar inverter, which makes it flexible for retrofit and upgrade installations. The mechanical and electrical design is rated for harsh Australian conditions that lighter inverters are not built for. For Perth and regional WA installs that need true off-grid capability or industrial-grade backup, the SP PRO is the local-manufacturing benchmark. Pricing reflects Australian production costs and the engineering depth of a purpose-built product.
