Specifications: 0

Overview

Power demanding 120/240V loads with a low-frequency, split-phase inverter/charger designed for off-grid and backup applications. The Sungold Power LF-PV series combines an inverter, high-current AC charger, and auto-transfer switch in one complete system (without MPPT)—built to handle large appliances, motor loads, and quick changeovers when utility power drops.

Key Features & Benefits

12,000W continuous power — Run large home or business loads without constantly load-managing.

36,000W surge (20s) + low-frequency transformer design — Helps start and support high-inrush equipment like pumps, dryers, and air conditioners more reliably.

Split-phase 120/240V output — Powers both 120V circuits and 240V appliances from one inverter platform.

240VAC input (not suitable for 120VAC input) — Ensures proper operation on 240V utility or generator sources designed for split-phase systems.

Built-in auto-transfer switch + ~10ms typical transfer time (max) — Keeps power interruptions minimal for better continuity during outages.

AC Priority (default) or Battery Priority selectable — Choose how your system behaves: maximize backup responsiveness or prioritize utility/generator charging.

Built-in AC battery charger (115±5A) with selectable charge rate up to 120A (0%–100%) — Faster recharge options and more control to match battery bank size and generator capacity.

4-step intelligent charging + PFC (Power Factor Correction) — More efficient charging from grid/generator power and better charging behavior across conditions.

Auto Generator Start (AGS) — Enables automated generator starts for hands-off backup workflows (when paired with a compatible generator setup).

8 battery voltage selections (LiFePO4, Gel, AGM, Lead Acid) — Flexible battery compatibility for new builds or upgrades.

Remote Control + Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) included — Easier monitoring/operation and temperature-aware charging support.

15s delay before transfer when AC recovers — Helps protect loads when used with generators as power stabilizes after recovery.

How to read this datasheet

Detailed specifications for Sungold Power 12kW 48V Split-Phase Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger | 36,000W Surge | 120/240V Output (240V Input) | 115A Charger (PFC) | AGS + Remote + BTS | No MPPT have not been published yet. Sungold lists this inverter in the Inverters, and we add fields as the manufacturer releases them — in the meantime, ask your distributor for the datasheet before ordering.

For an inverter, the figures that matter most are maximum PV input and the number of MPPT trackers, which set how many panel strings you can connect, the MPPT voltage window, which decides how many panels go in a string, peak and weighted (European/CEC) efficiency, typically 96–98.5% and topology — on-grid, off-grid, hybrid or micro. It is the component that decides what a solar system can do: how much power you can draw at once, whether you can export to the grid, whether the system keeps running in a blackout, and how well the panels and battery are managed day to day.

What to check before ordering

The checks below apply to any inverter. Run them against the specification table above — most disappointing solar purchases are compatible-on-paper units that fail one of these in practice.

Match the battery communication protocol (CAN bus or RS485) between inverter and battery. Compatible voltages are not enough; without a supported protocol the battery management system and inverter cannot agree on charge limits.
Look at the warranty term and what it covers. Five years is the common baseline, ten is offered by stronger brands, and extensions are often cheaper bought with the unit than later.
Size the inverter against the loads you need to run simultaneously, not against the total wattage of every appliance in the building — a 5 kW inverter comfortably runs a fridge, fans, lights and a couple of ACs, but not all of them plus a water pump starting at the same time.
Keep the panel array between roughly 1.0 and 1.3 times the inverter's rating. Slight oversizing (a higher DC-to-AC ratio) captures more energy on cloudy mornings and winter days; going far beyond it wastes generation through clipping.

Where buyers lose money

Buying on peak-watt price alone. A cheap inverter with a narrow MPPT window forces awkward string layouts and can strand a portion of the array.
Ignoring the ambient temperature rating. Inverters derate in heat, so a unit rated 5 kW at 25 °C may deliver noticeably less on a hot roof-adjacent wall at 45 °C.
Assuming any grid-tie inverter keeps the lights on during an outage. Standard on-grid units shut down for safety unless they have a dedicated backup or islanding output.

Solar pricing moves with supply, import duties and exchange rates, and distributors set their own margins, so treat this as a comparison reference and confirm the current figure before you order.

SolarBazaar compares equipment rather than selling it. Shortlist here on specification and price, then buy from an authorised distributor or installer in Saudi Arabia: warranty cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports Sungold locally before ordering.

The Sungold brand page lists the rest of its range so you can compare across the catalogue.

That depends on what it has to connect to. For an inverter, check maximum PV input and the number of MPPT trackers, which set how many panel strings you can connect, the MPPT voltage window, which decides how many panels go in a string and peak and weighted (European/CEC) efficiency, typically 96–98.5% against the rest of your equipment before price enters the decision. Confirm the inverter is approved by your local utility or distribution network before you buy if you intend to export power — grid connection depends on certified anti-islanding and local grid-code compliance, not on the inverter's specifications alone.

SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and price here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer in Saudi Arabia — buying in-channel is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.
