Pre-wired and tested, this outdoor version of the Four Star Backup 4400 backup power unit is ready to back you up! All you need to do is decide which appliances you want to be able to run when the utility grid is knocked out or disconnected. An electrician will separate out those critical loads into an auxilliary subpanel that will run on batteries until the power comes back on.
Seamless electrical coverage
This 240 volt backup power unit
incorporates an inverter that monitors the grid. When the grid goes down or is disconnected, the inverter switches to battery backup in less than a second, keeping your critical loads online (powered by batteries) until the grid comes back.
The Four Star Backup 4400 includes eight 200 amp hour batteries, a Magnum Energy MS4448 sinewave inverter & remote, battery monitor, a white aluminum Midnite Solar battery enclosure, battery and inverter cables and interconnects, and battery terminal caps.
The battery banks of the Four Star Backup 4400 can be charged with grid electricity, or by generator, or by solar panels. They can also be expanded by adding additional batteries. See Battery Add On below.
No solar panels are included in this package but they can be easily added. See Add-on Options below. Adding solar panels can keep your critical loads running even longer and qualifies the whole purchase for a 30% federal tax credit.
If you add the Solar Add On, your purchase of this backup power system will qualify for a Federal Tax Credit equal to 30% of the installed cost.
