Skybox 8kVA Victron Off-Grid Solar Power System Cabinet

$12,500.00

SkyBox is a self contained energy system with battery, inverter and required switches all housed in a custom weatherproof enclosure.

In the past you’d have to pay up to tens of thousands to run cables to your home or property, SkyBox solves that and doesn’t require an off-grid qualified electrician to install. Since any electrician can install it, you can save thousands compared to installing an off grid solar system, through an off grid installer or provider.

The SkyBox 8kVA  model includes:

  • Victron MultiPlus 48/8000
  • Victron 450/100 MPPT Solar charger
  • Victron Cerbo GX and Touch screen display
  • Victron GSM 4G LTE module
  • Pre-Wired AC External Switchboard
  • Pre-Wired external Solar input
  • Pre-Wired connections for Pylontech US5000-B or other Rack batteries with Internal Busbars & Circuit Protection.

NOTE: Batteries are not included with the SkyBox, they must be purchased separately.

Description

Skybox 8kVA Victron Off-Grid Solar Power System Cabinet

Features:

Solar Compatible- The SkyBox can be used in off-grid as well as other alternative energy systems. It is compatible with both solar charger controllers and new or existing grid-tie inverters.

No Break Supply- The SkyBox takes over the supply to the connected loads in a grid failure or when generator power is disconnected. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.

Maximum Power- Up to 6 SkyBoxes can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six units, for example, will provide 25 kW / 30 kVA output power with 420 Amps charging capacity. In addition to parallel connection, three units of the same model can be configured for three-phase output. But that’s not all: up to 6 sets of three units can be parallel connected for a 75 kW / 90 kVA inverter and more than 1200 Amps charging capacity!

SkyCare Monitoring- Our free remote monitoring app will display all your system data in a comprehensive graphical format. System settings can be changed remotely via the portal. Alarms can be received by e-mail.

Off-Site Monitoring- When connected to the internet, SkyBox can be accessed remotely, and settings can be changed.

Proudly Aussie made- Every SkyBox is put together and tested by our engineers in our headquarters in Victoria before being shipped out.

Independence from the grid- The SkyBox replaces grid connection supply and provides total independence from the grid.

10-year replacement warranty- The SkyBox comes with a massive 10-year warranty.

Plug and play install for electricians- The great thing about the SkyBox is that your local sparky can install it, and they don’t require an off-grid licence to do so.

No assembly required- The SkyBox comes prewired and pre-programmed for easy installation.

Shipping

HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the contents of your cart and the shipping address. This takes into account product weight and dimensions, and whether the location being sent to is metro, regional or remote. The price will change depending on whether it is a commercial or residential address. There is an extra charge for items marked as *Dangerous Goods by the courier.

Please note, that we are currently using Freight Exchange as a freight broker. Their terms & conditions are listed here.

WHERE DO YOU SHIP?

We ship to most destinations in Australia. If the checkout does not allow your shipping address, please contact us and we will see what we can do to help.

WHO DO YOU SHIP WITH?

We use different couriers depending on rates and services available, including Border Express, Couriers Please and Australia Post. If you have a specific reason to use or not use a particular courier please let us know.

what about insurance?

We will generally insure any delivery above $500, BUT;

Freight damages MUST be reported to us within 24 hours of delivery for insurance claims on damages to be realised. Where possible please inspect the delivery for external damage to the packaging, and if damage is suspected inspect the goods BEFORE signing for the delivery.

Please refuse any obviously damaged deliveries (smashed panels, dented batteries) and ask the delivery driver to return the delivery to the depot and report the damages to us ASAP.

If you have granted “Authority to leave” or missed the driver, or have your delivery made to a depot, have the receiver inspect the delivery and please report any freight damage to us directly with photos via email within 24 hours of the delivery being made.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee damages will be covered by insurance if they are reported after 24 hours from the time of delivery.

How Long Does the shipping take?

It varies greatly based on the destination and the products ordered. Orders are usually dispatched from our warehouse in Preston, VIC within 48 hours. You can use the estimates below as a rough guide for shipping time:

  • VIC and SA: 1-2 days
  • QLD and NSW: 2-3 days
  • NT, WA and TAS: 3-10 days +

These estimates do not apply if the destination is regional or remote. Once orders leave our warehouse we have very little control over the actual shipping time. If you need a more accurate estimate of shipping time please contact us.
