A Luxpower LXP6K 6 kW split-phase inverter runs the pump circuit from a Maple Leaf Beaver Heated 48V LiFePO4 battery, kept outdoors in an insulated, IP65 waterproof Maple Leaf Mountie cabinet, and switches to battery automatically in an outage. One battery gives a typical 1\/2 HP pump about 4.7 hours of actual pumping, or roughly 18 hours of storm when the pump runs 15 minutes an hour. Choose two batteries to double that, and add four or eight 550W+ solar panels on a Maple Leaf Goose ground mount to recharge from the sun during long outages.

Each group of four panels connects as one string to one of the LXP6K's two solar inputs, inside its 120 to 385 V operating range and its 17 A and 4,000 W per-input limits. In full sun, four panels can recharge one Beaver battery in roughly 3 hours, and eight panels can recharge two Beavers in about the same time, so your pump keeps running through a multi-day outage when the sun is out. Output is much lower on cloudy winter days, when the grid stays the main charger. The Goose mount tilts from 30° to 60° (set it steep in winter to shed snow), hurricane kits rate it for winds up to 105 mph, and it carries a 25-year warranty.

Mount the inverter indoors on a wall near your electrical panel, above any flood level (it is rated for 0°C to 50°C), and keep a high-water alarm in the pit. With the solar option, the Goose mounts also need a foundation, such as concrete blocks or ground screws. Your electrician supplies the backup subpanel, a small enclosure and terminal blocks for the battery breakers, and the wiring between the parts; the manual below lists everything.

That's why the kit includes the Mountie, an insulated, waterproof cabinet that sits outside. The inverter mounts indoors, on a wall near your electrical panel and above any flood level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add solar panels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Choose the solar option for four or eight 550W+ panels on a Goose ground mount (pre-order, estimated arrival March 2027; the battery kit ships now), or add panels later: the LXP6K accepts up to 8,000 W of solar input. Panels recharge the batteries during long outages and cut your bills the rest of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need an electrician?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Connecting an inverter to your home's wiring needs a licensed electrician, an electrical permit and an inspection (ESA in Ontario). Our assembly and installation manual, with the single-line diagram, is linked above for your electrician. We can help arrange the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho supports and repairs the kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do.
