Is the ELE SPI2436M120-500 a 120Vac inverter?

Yes. The supplied brochure lists 120Vac rated single-phase output and an 85-140Vac AC input range. Country, utility and installation requirements still need confirmation.

Is the ELE SPI2436M120-500 a 24V battery inverter?

Yes. The selection guide classifies it as a 24V battery model. The detail table lists 28.8Vdc rated battery voltage and a 20-33Vdc operating range. Exact battery and BMS compatibility still requires confirmation.

Can the ELE SPI2436M120-500 operate in parallel?

No. The supplied brochure lists parallel units as not supported for this model.

What PV input and surge output are documented?

The brochure lists 6000W maximum DC input, 500V maximum DC voltage, one 27A MPPT channel and 5400VA peak output for 5 seconds.

Selection answer

A compact 120Vac path with clear expansion limits.

The model fits a documented 120Vac single-phase branch where a 24V battery platform and 3.6kW rated output are appropriate. It is not the right choice when the design requires 120/240Vac split phase or parallel inverter expansion.

Confirm 120Vac service

Rated output is single-phase L+N+PE at 50/60Hz.

Do not treat it as split phase

Check the 24V battery window

The brochure lists 20-33Vdc and lead-acid or lithium battery types.

Verify BMS and current

Keep PV inside limits

Maximum DC input is 6kW; PV Voc must remain below 500V.

Cold-weather Voc controls

Do not design a parallel bank

Parallel units are explicitly listed as not supported for this model.

Documented operating paths

A 120Vac output coordinated with PV, battery and grid.

The brochure lists on-grid, off-grid and battery-less operation. Final wiring, protection, grounding and operating modes must follow current installation documentation and applicable local requirements.

Brochure-listed functions

Compact operation without hiding the system limits.

These functions are listed on the supplied model page. Availability, firmware behavior and accessories should be checked against the current supplied configuration.

Check project compatibility →

CT anti-backflow

Zero feed-in protection is listed; confirm CT selection, placement and commissioning method.

150% surge for 5 seconds

The table lists 5400VA peak output. Verify the actual starting profile of motors and other critical loads.

Single 27A / 6000W PV channel

The model has one MPPT channel. Calculate cold-weather Voc and operating current for the complete string.

Dry-contact generator control

The brochure lists dry-contact control. Generator sizing, wiring and operating logic require project review.

Battery-less operation

PV plus grid direct supply is listed; available behavior depends on solar and grid conditions.

Before specification

120Vac single phase is not 120/240Vac split phase.

Confirm the actual service and load architecture before selection. A matching voltage number alone does not establish phase format, neutral behavior, code compliance or battery compatibility.

AC service

Confirm country, 120Vac single-phase service, frequency, neutral, earthing and grid requirements.

PV string Voc

Calculate cold-weather open-circuit voltage and keep it within the documented maximum.

Battery and BMS

Confirm model, 20-33Vdc window, current, protocol, firmware and communication cable pinout.

Loads and surge

Document continuous loads, largest starting load, transfer sensitivity and backup duration.

Documents

Request the current datasheet, manual and applicable certificate scope for the target market.

Certification note

The brochure specification table references UL 1741, CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 and FCC Part 15 Class B. This website does not present those references as independently verified certificates. Request the applicable certificate, exact model scope and revision before relying on a compliance claim.
