CYBOENERGY INC-OFF-GRID CI-MINI-1200H1/ H2 TWIN PACK FOR ELECTRICAL WATER HEATERS
Take matters into your own hands and avoid power outages by creating your own energy!
Enjoy the 24/7 Security of Having Your Own Solar System that can produce clean energy by day and automatically switch to grid use at night and battery backup during grid outages.
"Inverter-Air-Conditioners (IAC) are becoming more popular. They can start with small amounts of surge power; therefore, our special off-grid CyboInverters can run these air conditioners with just solar panels. No battery is required. We believe off-grid solar air-conditioning has huge market potential in many parts of the world where the electric grid is poor or there is no electricity."
The graphic above shows a 4-channel 1.2KW off-grid CyboInverter that directly connects to four 250W to 330W solar panels with MC-4 connectors. It can run a 9000 to 12000 Btu IAC. The graphic below shows an off-grid CyboInverter Twin-Pack that connects to eight solar panels and can run an 18000 to 24000 Btu IAC or multiple smaller IACs. Solar panels and CyboInverters can be installed on the roof with "plug-and-play" installation. The AC output wire runs down to connect to the IAC. Since the system is so simple and easy to install, the total system cost is affordable, especially as the solar panel price has dropped substantially. Most off-grid inverters on the market require batteries to operate. This battery-less solar air conditioning system is unique, cost effective, and can work in high temperature and high humidity areas.

This product is specially designed for powering dual-element or single element electric water heaters, electric heating elements, electric hot plates for cooking, heating cables, etc.
To power lights, fans, TV, PC, phone-chargers, food processors, small appliances, etc., please use regular off-grid CyboInverters.
H Model for Electric Water Heaters
CyboInverter powers the lower heating element. Its thermostat is set higher than the upper element.
- No need to deal with local utility companies, yet avoid high tier rates and reduce electricity bills.
- A very simple system and much easier to install than thermal solar water heaters.
- For 1KW to 2KW, 220V-240V heating elements.
CyboInverter H Model Twin Pack
- Total of 8 DC Input Channels for 8 Solar Panels with MPPT.
- For 2KW to 4KW, 220V-240V heating elements.
- Multiple H model twin packs should be used for larger systems such as swimming pools.

Parts Included: an Off-Grid CyboInverter H model or a Twin Pack.
Parts Required: a switchable AC junction box with outlet or an AC switch, an 8 AWG bare grounding wire, screws and nuts, and basic tools. If the CyboInverter is mounted outside, an outdoor AC junction box is required.
Step 1. Know Your Water Heater
Note:
- As an example, this is a GE dual element side mount electric water heater.
- Its Use & Care Manual can be found and downloaded online.
Step 2a. Wire AC to the Heater
If the CyboInverter is mounted inside, connect its 2 output lines to an AC switch or a Switchable AC Outlet. Then, connect to the lower element of the water heater through its electric junction box on the top.
Required Wiring Change
If the CyboInverter is mounted inside, connect its 2 output lines to an AC switch or a Switchable AC Outlet. Then, connect to the lower element of the water heater through its electric junction box on the top.
Step 2a. Wire AC to the Heater
If the CyboInverter is mounted outside, connect its 2 output lines to an outdoor AC J-box. Connect the AC wires to a switchable AC junction box or an AC switch installed inside. Then, connect the output wires to the lower heating element of the electric water heater.

Step 3. Set Thermostat Setpoint
Step 4. Mount CyboInverter
HANG ON A WALL OR SOLAR RACK
- Hang on a wall in the garage or a utility room.
- For flat roof or ground mount, hang inverter on a solar rack and allow the DC wires to reach all 4 solar panels in the group. 5/16” - 18 x ½” long stainless steel screws and nuts recommended.
MOUNT ON A SOLAR RACK
- For sloped roof, mount inverter on a solar rack. You may use a support leg (CSL-01) to balance the weight.
Step 5. Ground the System
GROUND CYBOINVERTERS
- Tighten an 8 AWG bare grounding wire to the grounding lug that is attached to the mounting bracket of the CyboInverter. Run the wire through each CyboInverter to the NEC approved AC grounding rod, typically near the service panel.
- A grounding lug with screw is attached on the CyboInverter.
- As an option, you may ground the solar panel and inverter together using WEEB or similar products.
Step 6. Connect to Solar Panels
Warning:
Connecting panels with >50V DC can damage the inverter. Warranty voided.
- Each CyboInverter has 4 pairs of MC-4 DC connectors. The red labeled wire is “+”. Plug in each pair of the MC-4 connectors to its corresponding solar panel.
- If a channel has no solar panel, connect its male and female connectors to each other.
- Solar panels having non MC-4 connectors must be changed to MC-4 with correct wire polarity.
STEP 7. COMMISSION THE SYSTEM
INSPECTION
- Make sure no wires are pinched or damaged and the AC junction boxes are properly closed.
COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM
- Turn the AC Switch to ON position.
- CyboInverter should send test signals to the off-grid circuit to assure that there are appropriate loads and there is no AC power.
- If all is OK, CyboInverter will send power to the water heater. Use an AC meter to check the voltage. 10V to 264V is normal.
For Single-Element Water Heaters
4 SOLAR PANELS AND 1 CYBOINVERTER H MODEL
- Use a CyboInverter H model for water heaters, electric cookware, hot plates, slab heaters, heating cables, etc.
- If needed, use a double-pole doublethrow switch (On-Off-On type) to switch between the grid power and CyboInverter output.

CyboInverter powers a $20 hotplate for clean cooking.
- About 3 billion people in the world still cook with stoves fueled by firewood or coal.
- Causes air pollution, reduced forests, deteriorated environment, and global warming.
- Solar cooking is clean and cost-effective.
