It does not require solar panels to operate and works with both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. A CT current transformer is included for managing grid power flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3kW single phase AC coupled inverter and battery charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with any existing grid-tied PV system for energy storage upgrading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries (40–60V, 50–2000Ah)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax charge\/discharge current: 60A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAN communication for lithium battery BMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple operating modes for different application scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural convection cooling, no external fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent commissioning app with one-click inverter configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCT current transformer included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG98\/G99 compliant for UK grid connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 405 x 510 x 150mm, weight: 12.1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S5-EA1P3K-L allows homeowners and businesses with an existing grid-tied solar installation to add battery storage without replacing their current inverter. It connects on the AC side of the existing system, charging the battery from solar generation or from the grid on an off-peak tariff, and discharging to supply loads during peak periods or during a grid outage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor properties without solar panels, the inverter can charge the battery bank purely from the mains at a low-cost overnight tariff and discharge during peak hours, reducing electricity costs with no PV installation required. Solar panels can be added at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit operates using natural convection cooling with no external fan, reducing noise and removing a common source of mechanical failure in inverter-chargers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding battery storage to an existing grid-tied solar PV system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-peak tariff charging and peak-hour discharge without solar panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-consumption and backup power for residential and commercial properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC coupling with any brand of existing grid-tied inverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation and Safety Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inverter must be installed by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited solar installer. G98 or G99 notification and DNO approval must be obtained before connection to the grid.
