Contents can vary by seller. A typical 400W solar kit includes solar panels (totaling 400W peak), a charge controller (MPPT or PWM), an inverter, battery/battery bank or provision for one, mounting hardware, cabling, and basic connectors. Confirm the exact list with the seller before purchase.
No. The diesel engine, horsepower, drive wheel and related vehicle specs are inconsistent with a residential solar power kit and appear to be an error in the listing. The 400W solar kit is a photovoltaic system for electrical generation and does not include any diesel engine or vehicle components. Please verify the correct technical sheet with the seller.
The 400W rating describes the peak output of the solar panels under ideal sun conditions. Actual available power depends on sunlight, panel orientation, and system losses. To power devices continuously, you also need a suitable inverter and battery storage; the kit's ability to run specific appliances depends on the inverter rating and battery capacity, which you should confirm with the seller.
You can run many Hilti tools if the inverter and battery support the tool's peak and continuous power needs. Small cordless tool chargers and low-power handheld tools are usually fine; high-draw corded tools, breakers, or heavy-duty Hilti equipment may exceed a 400W panel’s sustainable output and require a larger battery/inverter or a generator. Check each tool’s wattage and start-up surge against the inverter specifications.
Battery inclusion depends on the kit variant—some kits include batteries while others require separate purchase. Runtime depends on battery capacity (Ah and voltage) and appliance power draw. Ask the seller for battery specs and use the formula: runtime (hours) = battery usable Wh ÷ appliance wattage. If battery info isn’t provided, request it before buying.
Inverter type and size should be specified by the seller. For powering household appliances and tools you’ll typically want a pure sine wave inverter with an appropriate continuous and surge watt rating. Confirm the inverter’s continuous wattage, surge capacity, and output waveform before purchase.
Some kits are designed for off-grid or backup use; others may be grid-tied. For safe grid connection you need a grid-tie inverter with anti-islanding protection and local utility permission. To use as backup during outages, the system must include an inverter/battery solution and proper transfer switch installation by a qualified electrician.
Basic physical installation (mounting panels) can be DIY for experienced homeowners, but electrical connections, inverter setup, battery installation, grounding, and grid interconnection should be performed or at least inspected by a licensed electrician or certified solar installer to ensure safety and code compliance.
Expansion is possible but depends on the charge controller, inverter, and mounting capacity. Ensure the included charge controller and inverter support additional panels/battery capacity or can be replaced with higher-capacity components. Ask the seller for guidance on expandability limits and compatibility.
Routine maintenance includes keeping panels clean and free of debris, checking and tightening electrical connections, monitoring battery health (if included), ensuring proper ventilation for inverters and batteries, and inspecting mounts for corrosion or damage. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule where provided.
Solar panels are installed outdoors; inverters, charge controllers and batteries should be mounted in dry, ventilated locations protected from direct weather. All electrical installations must follow local codes, use proper enclosures, fuses/circuit breakers, and grounding. Batteries (especially lead-acid) require special ventilation and handling precautions.
Certifications (CE, UL, ISO, IEC) and warranty terms vary by manufacturer and seller. Ask for documentation that verifies panel performance, inverter safety certifications, and the length/details of warranties for panels, inverters, and batteries. Get warranty information in writing before purchase.
Calculate the daily energy you need (sum of watts × hours for each appliance). Compare that to expected daily solar generation (400W × peak sun hours × system efficiency). Also factor in battery size for night or cloudy-day use and inverter capacity for peak/surge loads. If unsure, provide your appliance list to the seller or an installer for an assessment.
