Designed, manufactured and supported from the heart of Melbourne, Australia, MIL-Systems’ very own MIL-Solar division has been setting industry benchmarks since 1987. The team have been kept busy across the decades, designing, manufacturing and supporting electronic power, battery and security products for both the communications industry and the Australian Defence forces.
Blueprinted and crafted to withstand Australia’s iconic (and sometimes unpredictable) conditions, MIL-Solar’s rugged 5 kW solar inverter was launched in 2015. It has a 10 year warranty and 100% reliability with no faults or warranty claims from any of the Eclipse inverters installed around Australia over 5 years.
The brand kicked off with its exclusive Eclipse solar inverter design, with rollout and installation commencing from 2016. Through this successful launch, MIL-Solar has continued to support both the local economy and ability to provide stable job opportunities.
The Eclipse is the only Australian designed and manufactured PV Grid Tie inverter on the market – a significant advantage for the national industry, local innovation and jobs for Australians.
The Eclipse inverter is AS4777 approved on the CEC website and specially IEC62116 safety approved for eligibility for the Solar Victoria rebate of $1888.
A positive path for the short-term future
MIL-Solar plans to increase production of its 5 kW Eclipse inverter to support the surge in demand for Australian made products, especially throughout 2020. MIL-Solar engineers are finishing the design of the 6 kW Eclipse for release at ALL Energy in October 2020.
The Eclipse range is battery ready and can be installed in the home with the Tesla Powerwall 2 AC battery.
The Eclipse range is suitable for installation with the Selectronic SPPRO battery and the MIL-Solar engineers have completed the AC Coupling to the SPPRO battery. Cooperation between Selectronic and MIL-Solar will soon see the Eclipse inverter Certified for AC coupling to SPPRO for off-grid and hybrid installations.
