            Description

            SkyBox SBX5048-120/240

            True Hybrid Energy System from OutBack Power

            In a world of changing energy needs, complex utility rates and growing grid instability, SkyBox goes beyond both
            simple grid-tied and off-grid designs by creating an entirely new class of renewable energy system
            a True Hybrid Energy System. By combining the economic benefits of a grid-tied system with all the independence
            and self-sufficiency of an off-grid system, SkyBox redefines simplicity, intelligence, flexibility and control.

            • Easy To Install and Own: Installs like a grid-tied inverter, but with support for energy
              storage, SkyBox is engineered for simplicity. A fully integrated
              design supports larger strings and fewer components
              cutting solar + energy storage installation time by up to 75%.
            • Power Perfected: SkyBox intelligently measures and controls power to and
              from any connection point (utility, solar, battery, generator
              and load), dynamically optimizing energy distribution,
              consumption and transactionsperfecting the way power is
              created and consumed.
            • Seamless Energy Storage: Manage your personal energy grid. Leverage the benefits of
              energy storage to bank solar energy when the sun is shining
              and use it later when utility rates are high. Or, install SkyBox
              now and add energy storage later. SkyBox lets you do either.
            • Total Energy Management: OPTICS RE lets owners control 100% of programming parameters
              while monitoring when, where and how energy is generated,
              consumed and storedfrom any internet-connected device.
              And its built into SkyBox so its ready to use on day one.
