Solar Inverter Assemblies — Consumer Grade

A complete inverter your brand can stand behind, not a reference design that still needs six months of field validation. Frigate’s consumer grade solar inverter assemblies are built for the residential, small commercial, and off-grid markets where price point, field reliability, and fast market entry matter in equal measure. Sold under your brand with your packaging, your documentation, and your warranty terms. Every unit is assembled, tested, and certified before it ships.

Material
Aluminium alloy — die-cast (ADC12); fabricated sheet (5052-H32 / 6061-T6).
Wall Thickness
Die-cast: 2.5–4.0 mm; fabricated sheet: 1.5–3.0 mm.
Assembly Format
Wall-mount single-body (standard consumer range); split front/rear shell.
Dimensional Envelope
200×150×100 mm (0.5–1 kW class) through 500×350×200 mm (6–10 kW class). All dimensions confirmed against OEM’s PCB, transformer, and heatsink envelope at DFM stage
IP Rating
200×150×100 mm (0.5–1 kW class) through 500×350×200 mm (6–10 kW class).
*Private label programmes require a one-time brand setup lead time at the start, branding artwork approval, packaging finalisation, and documentation preparation.

Product Description

Frigate manufactures consumer grade solar inverter assemblies as a complete mechanical and electrical housing package, enclosure body, internal mounting architecture, thermal management structure, heatsink integration, cable entry system, display provisions, and cover panels of assembled and finished to the OEM’s mechanical specification. The assembly is designed for the residential, small commercial, and off-grid inverter segment: compact wall-mount formats, IP65-rated outdoor sealing, and surface finishes validated for high-ambient tropical and coastal deployment environments.

Gasket System

Silicone / EPDM compression gaskets at all cover and access interfaces.

Cable Entry

Pre-punched and blank gland zones — M16–M32 metric cable glands for consumer range.

Heatsink Integration

Extruded heatsink fins integrated into rear or side wall of assembly.

Operating Temperature Range

Assembly rated −20°C to +60°C continuous. Validated for high-ambient tropical markets.

PCB Mounting

M3 / M4 brass or stainless standoffs at defined PCB mounting hole positions.

DIN Rail Provision

35 mm top-hat DIN rail (EN 60715) factory-installed at specified position.

Standard Finish

UV-resistant polyester powder coat, 60–80 µm DFT. RAL colour to your brand specification. Pre-treatment: iron phosphate or chromate conversion.

Premium Finish

Type II / III hard anodise (MIL-A-8625). ≥1,000 hrs salt spray resistance per ASTM B117

Cooling Fan Provision

Fan mounting boss and aperture, bolt pattern and clearance confirmed against fan module specification.

Assembly Compliance

IEC 62262 (mechanical impact IK rating); IEC 60529 (IP rating);

Technical Advantages

Every assembly is manufactured against the released drawing, PCB standoff layout, power module seating surfaces, transformer mounting position, fan aperture, and cable entry face configuration are all defined by your design package, not by Frigate’s standard. The consumer grade classification defines the size class, cost position, and environmental performance envelope of the assembly, not a compromise on manufacturing standards. First article inspection, finish verification, and full documentation are applied to consumer grade assemblies on the same basis as any other Frigate-manufactured product.

How We Delivered

Complex geometries engineered solutions that move businesses forward. 

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

We're sourcing assemblies from multiple suppliers currently, enclosure from one, internal mounting from another, finishing from a third. Can Frigate consolidate that into a single supply?

Yes, and consolidation into a single assembly supply is precisely what the consumer grade programme is structured for. Frigate manufactures the complete mechanical assembly: enclosure body, internal PCB standoffs, power module seating surfaces, transformer mounting, heatsink integration, cable entry configuration, display aperture, cover panels, and surface finish, all under one purchase order, one inspection process, one documentation package. The alternative, coordinating dimensional compatibility, finish consistency, and delivery timing across three separate suppliers, introduces fit and quality risk at every handoff. Submit your full assembly drawing package and Frigate’s engineering team will confirm scope, DFM feedback, and indicative pricing within 3–5 working days. 

Our inverter design is still in development, the PCB layout and internal component positions aren't finalised yet. At what stage should we engage Frigate?

Earlier than most OEM teams do. The assembly geometry, standoff positions, heatsink surface flatness, cable entry face, fan aperture location, is directly dependent on the internal component layout. If that layout changes after the assembly tooling is committed, it creates rework cost and schedule delay on both sides. Frigate’s DFM review at the STEP model or draft drawing stage identifies the mechanical interdependencies between your component positions and the assembly geometry before anything is locked. Changes at that stage cost nothing. Changes after first article approval cost significantly more. Send us your current STEP file under NDA, even if the design isn’t finalised and we’ll engage at whatever stage your development is at.

We have an existing consumer grade assembly from another manufacturer that we're looking to re-source. What does Frigate need from us to assess whether we can manufacture a like-for-like replacement?

Send us the existing assembly drawing or a dimensioned sample with your current supplier’s documentation. Frigate will assess manufacturability, confirm whether the existing design has any features that require tooling investment or process modification, and identify any DFM improvements that would reduce cost or improve assembly quality at the same time. Re-sourcing an existing assembly is faster than developing from scratch, tooling and process are defined against a known geometry rather than a design still in iteration. If there are dimensional or finish deviations from your current supplier that have been causing incoming QC issues, note those at the enquiry stage and Frigate’s team will address them specifically in the DFM review. 

How do we know the product won't have quality issues in the field that damage our brand, especially in high-temperature tropical environments?

This is the right question to resolve before you commit to a private label programme, not after your brand name is on 500 units in the field. Frigate’s consumer grade assemblies are designed and validated for tropical operating conditions, ambient temperature up to 60°C, humidity to 95% RH, and the high-dust environments typical of South Asia and Southeast Asia deployments. Every unit is factory-tested before dispatch: full power-on test, output voltage and frequency verification, protection function check, and display/communication function test. Batch traceability means any field failure can be traced to its production lot, so if a pattern emergesit’s identifiable and containable before it becomes a brand event. The fastest way to assess this honestly is to run an evaluation batch of 3–5 units in your actual deployment environment before committing to the programme. Frigate supports that and if the product doesn’t perform in your environment, that’s better discovered at evaluation stage than after market launch.
