Tui SolarNest | All-In-One Cabinet Solution

$22,000.00

GridFree's Tui SolarNest Cabinet is an integrated, all-in-one system for off-grid applications - a plug'n'play solution. This pre-built IP54-rated cabinet is the ideal solution for baches, tiny homes, and lifestyle properties that have no access to grid power, as they have an easier, faster, and cheaper installation than our DIY kits, are easy to relocate, and are more resilient to environmental conditions.

These standalone systems are factory assembled and tested, and shipped as a complete off-grid solar system. The All-in-One solution incorporates an inverter charger with an MPPT solar charge controller, lithium battery modules, E4 monitoring and AC/DC/PV power distribution in one box. Electrician required for install.

Installation: The solar panels and their cables are the only parts in these kits that are okay outside. The charge controller, inverter, and hybrid inverter are not IP rated and should be kept away from moisture including condensation.

With 12 solar panels and 10kWh of batteries, the Tui provides enough power to accommodate a lot of home comforts. It offers stronger surge capability and powerful overload capability to power heavier loads like occasional power tool or aircon use, or simply running more things at once. The automatic start/stop function for generator input ensures continuous power supply, and the power assistance functionality enables limited AC source to power heavy loads with the assist of battery power. Plus, the advanced Web & App interfaces allow for system remote monitoring and control, with an in-built E4 monitor for local monitoring and control.

What can the Tui SolarNest run?

Below is an example of one day's total power usage, if you're getting at least 3 sun hours - this is ~14kWh of energy per day and can be expected for >80% of the year. (Learn more.) These items are a guide to what you might run over one day, and they can be swapped out to suit your needs within the generation estimate. (Read more.) We highly recommend having a back-up generator with these kits if you won't be able to conserve power during low-sun periods. (Need a jargon breakdown?) The SolarNest kits offer a higher surge capability than our other kits, allowing you to run more things at once, or occasionally run high-load items such as power tools or aircon.

Not sure how much power you need? Read this article to learn how to calculate your needs.

This example doesn't account for days when you may have to cut back on power use (or supplement with a generator) due to several days of poor weather preventing your batteries from fully recharging each day. Learn more here. Our kits should not be used for vital or life-supporting systems, and we recommend finding alternative solutions for Water/Space Heating, Cooking, or EV charging to maximise your budget - Why?

Includes everything you need to get up and running.

How to choose

Solar Panel Mounts

Universal

The Universal Roof Mount allows you to mount your panels flat on any type of roof along a pair of rails. The rails are attached to the roof with L-shaped brackets, and the panels are clamped to the rails, making it much easier to mount four or more panels on your roof.

Corrugated

The Corrugated Iron Roof mount performs similarly to the universal roof mount, but it is a rail-free option that sits in the grooves of corrugated iron. The mounts are secured to the roof and then the panels are clamped onto them directly instead of rails.  

Ground

The Ground mount allows you to mount your panels on the ground along a pair of rails attached to a triangular frame, and the panels are clamped to the rails. The frame is mounted on something secured in the ground, and the angle can only be adjusted during the install.

Tilt

The Tilt mount allows you to mount your panels on a flat/low pitch roof at an angle to maximise solar energy, adjustable by up to 15 degrees after the initial install. The rails are attached to a triangular frame mounted to the roof, and the panels are clamped to the rails.
