Overview
Power that grows with you.
Formerly known as the OGK-MAX, the newly branded PRIME MAX is designed for those who need more than just the essentials. As the "middle ground" of our PRIME line, it offers nearly double the solar input and expanded battery storage to handle larger daily demands. Whether you are looking for high-performance home backup, deeper peak shaving, or a robust power system for a large off-grid cabin, the PRIME-MAX can handle it.
Now built around the EG4 12kPV hybrid inverter, the PRIME MAX runs fully off-grid or ties into the grid with battery backup, so you can use solar first, keep the lights on in an outage, and sell excess power back where your utility allows.
Like all our kits, the PRIME MAX comes with all the parts and pieces you need to get up and running. We’ve engineered this kit for a truly DIY-friendly experience, designed so that a homeowner can comfortably handle the majority of the installation, while remaining simple enough for a local professional to step in and finalize the connection quickly.

Q
Looking for a basic home backup system and was looking at the 16kw package with 12k eg4 inverter. Wondering how long the battery would power Sammet house? Gas stove, hot water heater and 3 ton 22seer variable speed heat pump.

A
Hi Jon,
How long it lasts depends mostly on how hard your heat pump runs, so we can't give one number yet, but here's how to work it out. Run time in hours is about 85% of the 16kWh battery divided by your average household draw in watts. For example, a fridge cycling at about 65W would run for around 209 hours on its own (16,000Wh x 0.85 / 65W), and an average whole-house load of 1,000W would give about 13.6 hours.
The 3 ton variable speed heat pump will be your biggest load, and its draw changes a lot with outdoor temperature and how hard it's working. If you can share its running watts or amps from the nameplate, plus anything else you'd want powered during an outage, our team can give you a solid estimate. The EG4 12kPV is rated for 8,000W continuous output and runs 120V and 240V appliances, including 240V air conditioning units. During the day, the 7,920W solar array can also recharge the battery and help carry the load.
