We make appliances that respect your power.
An ordinary iron fights your power supply. This one doesn't.
A standard dry iron pulls 1,500W to 2,400W—spiking your electricity meter, tripping small generators, and instantly draining inverter batteries. The CORE 500 does the exact same heavy-duty pressing on just 500W. Whether you run on the national grid, prepaid meter units, a generator, or a solar/inverter setup, it delivers crisp, professional pressing without the power panic.
- Saves up to 75% on electricity and prepaid units on standard grid power.
- Runs effortlessly on small generators without tripping or overloading them.
- Solar & Inverter safe: iron anytime without draining your battery storage.
At SunPress Solar, we believe reliable everyday living shouldn't require massive power grids or fuel-guzzling setups. We engineer energy-smart appliances designed to work efficiently with the power you actually have.
The iron that stopped fighting the inverter.
Here is the problem every solar and inverter home in Nigeria knows too well: a standard electric iron consumes 1,500W–2,400W. Plug one in and it drains an inverter battery in minutes — or instantly trips the home solar system you spent so much to install. So families keep a fuel generator just to press clothes, and tailors lose working hours every time the grid blinks.
We refused to accept that. Instead of tweaking an existing iron, we custom-engineered the CORE 500 from the ground up: a 500W heating element positioned for even heat, a thermostat that holds its setting instead of wasting watts, and a ceramic soleplate verified unit by unit. The result presses fabric crisp — Ankara, cotton, native wear — without draining your inverter or needing a massive generator.
Every photo you see here is from our own production line. We publish it because when you buy an appliance for an off-grid home, you deserve to see exactly how it was made.
