‌Want to install a home solar energy storage system? How to choose the battery capacity?

Power (kW) ≠ Energy (kWh)

The battery capacity (Ah) depends on the system's voltage design and energy requirements.

If the system is designed for ‌5.5kWh‌ (storage energy), the capacity can be calculated directly; if the user's actual demand is ‌5.5kW power output‌, the discharge time must be considered (e.g., a 5.5kWh battery is required for 1 hour of discharge).

Ah=Battery Voltage (V)Energy (kWh)×1000

‌If the system voltage is 48V‌: According to the formula, a LiFePO4 battery of ‌~115Ah‌ is required.

‌If long-term power supply is required‌: It is recommended to increase the capacity or reduce the depth of discharge (such as choosing a ‌150Ah‌ battery).

48V battery pack is recommended for home use, and 51.2V for commercial and industrial use! Look for Bonada and easily match the inverter!
