JH Solar Version 2: 11 kW, 15.36 kWh All-in-One Solar Unit

Last checked 20 October 2026 · JH Solar guide

What JH Solar Version 2 Is

JH Solar Version 2 puts a hybrid inverter, a dual MPPT solar charger, a battery management system and a lithium iron phosphate battery in one cabinet. There are no separate battery racks or external battery cables, and the parts inside are already matched to each other.

It is plug-and-play in that sense, and it is a floor-standing unit that rolls on casters, a big step up from a hand-carry power station. The panels go on your roof, and a licensed electrician connects the unit to your panel board. Our side-by-side comparison of both JH Solar units shows how it differs from the smaller model.

The unit is rated off-grid capable, so it runs with or without grid power. With Meralco or your electric cooperative connected, it can use solar first and lean on the grid when the battery is low. During a brownout, the loads on its output keep running from the battery and the panels.

Who JH Solar Version 2 Suits

JH Solar Version 2 suits homes where solar has to do real work during the day as well as cover nights. The two solar inputs and the 11 kW inverter are what set it apart.

• Aircon homes: one or more inverter-type aircon units used in the afternoon and evening.
• Bigger households: several bedrooms, a washing machine, a water pump and more people home in the daytime.
• Home offices and small shops: computers, a chiller or freezer and lights that need to keep running through outages.
• Roof space for 14 or more panels: the unit gets the most from a large array.

If your use is lighter and backup at night is the main goal, the smaller JH Solar Version 1 with its 16.38 kWh battery may be enough. To check which side of the line you are on, compute your daily kWh from your bill first.

JH Solar Version 2 Price: ₱150,000 for the Unit

So, magkano? The unit is ₱150,000. That covers the cabinet with the 11 kW inverter, both MPPT inputs and the 15.36 kWh battery. The panels, mounting, cables, protection devices, labor and permits depend on your roof and wiring, so we quote them after a site assessment.

Full Specifications

These are the rated figures for JH Solar Version 2. Keep them handy when you read your quote.

The BMS is the battery’s guard: it watches cell voltage, current and temperature and cuts off when something goes out of range. The cycle rating tells you how many full charge and discharge cycles the LiFePO4 battery is rated for before its capacity falls to 80%, measured in lab conditions.

Dual MPPT Explained: How JH Solar Version 2 Takes 14 or 16 Panels

JH Solar Version 2 has two independent solar inputs, each with its own MPPT. Each input accepts up to 5,500 W of panels, works between 120 V and 500 V, and must never see more than 500 V open-circuit. The US Department of Energy’s inverter basics page is a good primer on how inverters and trackers handle solar power.

One string per MPPT

Each input takes one string of panels in series. Two inputs also help when your roof has two faces: one string can face east and the other west, and each tracker finds the best point for its own string.

At least three panels per string

A string must stay above 120 V to keep the tracker working. Our 620 W panel runs at 41.3 V, so three in series give about 123.9 V, just above the floor, while two would give only 82.6 V. At the top end, eight 620 W panels reach about 388.8 V open-circuit, well under the 500 V limit.

Never eight 720 W panels on one input

Power is the other limit. Seven 720 W panels give 5,040 W per input, which fits under 5,500 W. Eight would give 5,760 W, which is over the rating, so that layout is never used.

How Many Panels for a 3-Hour Peak: Examples

How many panels JH Solar Version 2 needs depends on your goal. The examples below use our own sizing method: a 3-hour strong-sun window and 20% losses from heat, wiring and conversion, so required panel watts = target power ÷ 0.8.

Example of a full sunny day: 10.08 kWp × 4 peak sun hours × 0.75 overall factor ≈ 30.2 kWh from the standard package. Part of that runs your daytime appliances directly, and part refills the battery.

The 160 A charging limit and clipping

The unit can put at most 160 A into the battery. Example: 160 A × 51.2 V ≈ 8,192 W, about 8.2 kW. With 20% losses that matches about 8,192 W ÷ 0.8 ≈ 10.2 kWp of panels, so above about 14 panels of 720 W, midday output can be more than the battery can take while the house is not using it. The unit then takes less from the panels, which is called clipping. It is normal and safe, and the extra panels still pay their way in the morning, late afternoon and on cloudy days.

What JH Solar Version 2 Can Run, Including Aircon

Two checks decide what JH Solar Version 2 can run. Power: the total watts running at the same moment, plus motor start-up surge, must stay under 11 kW. Energy: watts × hours for each appliance, divided by 1,000, gives the kWh the battery and panels must cover.

Example: the battery delivers about 15.36 kWh × 0.8 usable × 0.9 efficiency ≈ 11.06 kWh to your appliances, or about 11 hours at a steady 1 kW. The night above fits, with a small margin. A second aircon running all night would not, so plan which rooms stay cool after dark.

In the daytime the picture changes. With 14 panels in strong sun, the array can carry one or two aircon units directly while still charging the battery. For deeper aircon sizing, including 1.5HP and 2HP units, read our guide to running an aircon on solar panels. See how solar inverters are sized if a pump or old aircon trips the output on start-up surge.

Typical Wiring Summary

A Version 2 install follows this pattern. It is here to help you read your quote, not to replace a licensed electrician.

• Panels: one string per MPPT input, 7 + 7 for the standard 14-panel package, with mounting rated for local wind.
• DC isolator per string: a switch on each string so either side can be shut off for service.
• Surge protection per string: a DC surge protective device on each solar line, for thunderstorm season.
• AC breaker: sized from the rated output current of about 47.8 A at 230 V. A 63 A 2-pole breaker is a typical starting point, confirmed by your electrician against the manual and the Philippine Electrical Code, together with the cable size.
• Grounding: panel frames, rails and the cabinet bonded to a proper ground.

Because each input takes a single string, there is no parallel combining of strings on the roof side. Your electrician follows the manual for any further fusing and labels every switch.

Placement: Size, Weight and a Level Floor

The cabinet measures 57 × 40 × 78 cm (W × D × H) and weighs about 160 kg. It rolls on casters, so it needs a solid, level floor, such as a concrete slab, that can carry the weight without flexing.

• Floor: solid and level; avoid weak wooden floors and sloped garage ramps.
• Ventilation: shaded and dry, out of direct afternoon sun, with open space around it as the manual specifies.
• Flood level: above the highest water your street has seen; raise it on a solid base if needed.
• Away from LPG: keep it away from LPG tanks, the kitchen, fuel, paint and anything that burns easily.
• Getting it in: measure doors, hallways and any steps on the way in before delivery day.

Philippine Conditions and Tips on Your Phone

Peak sun hours in the Philippines are typically about 3.5 to 5 a day, depending on place and season; check your own city on the Global Solar Atlas. In the rainy season the array may only partly refill the battery, so the grid input and load planning matter more.

Hot afternoons trim panel output and push up aircon use at the same time, which is one reason the larger array helps. Typhoon season calls for mounting that suits local wind and a check after any strong storm.

On your phone

• Before you photograph your bill, hide your name, address and Customer Account Number (CAN); add a few past months if you have them.
• Take daylight photos of each roof face and of the floor spot for the cabinet.
• Photograph the label of every aircon you want on the backup output.
• Save the quote, warranty terms and shutdown steps in one folder.
