Islander-IXS 1000 (2024.04.07)

This is a smart true SineWave inverter and charger. We (the cave and tent living community) installed it in the cave a few days ago, replacing our old inverter. Concretely I do not know which day. Every day is the same in this place. We are very relaxed.

We use the Islander-IXS 1000 with solar panels and with a battery. Currently I do not know the type of our old inverter, but we still have it somewhere. It can be used, if needed. Our new inverter is more powerful than the old, but less energy efficient (it consumes much more power).

When the weather is cloudy, then its idle power consumption is enough to easily and quickly discharge a regular 12 Volt battery, resulting in 0 Volt input, 0 Volt output. When the weather is sunny, then the output is usually 228 Volt and 229 Volt, as it is visible on the photo above.

The solar panels outside (2x100 Watts). There are other solar panels too, but currently I do not know if they are installed or not. And probably we will have more solar panels too in the future. At least we have plans for this.

We use this system to charge various things, including smartphones, speakers, power banks, laptops.

The refrigerators in the cave are still not working, because they are much more power demanding than what this system currently can provide.

And our old inverter was less powerful, but more power efficient. We could charge our smartphones even in the nights, because it did not discharged the battery.

Of course we have plans to improve this system, including having more solar panels, and more and higher capacity batteries.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
