Please note that this inverter is intended for 100% off-grid use only and thus does not have NRS-097-2-1 certification. This certification is a requirement for grid-tied applications in certain South African municipalities. Therefore, connecting these off-grid inverters to the grid may not be permitted in some areas.
Please check with your local electricity supplier if you intend connecting it to the grid.

IMPORTANT

The products we sell must be installed by a qualified electrician/technician and must adhere to local wiring regulations and standards. We are not liable for any damages or warranty rejections as a result of incorrectly installed products or systems.

With a 5 kW inverter paired with a 5 kWh lithium-ion battery, you have a system that can provide up to 5 kilowatts of power at any given moment and a total energy reserve of 5 kilowatt-hours. Here's what that means for running appliances in your house:

What can this system power?

1. Low to Moderate Power Appliances (Can Run for Extended Periods)

LED Lights (5–15 W per bulb): Minimal impact on battery; can run numerous lights for many hours.
Television (100–200 W): A standard LED TV can run for 25–50 hours cumulatively.
Refrigerator (150–300 W): Can run for about 16–33 hours, but since refrigerators cycle on and off, actual usage may extend over a longer period.
Laptop Computer (50–100 W): Can run for 50–100 hours.
Fans (50–100 W): Similar to laptops in consumption.

2. High Power Appliances (Limited Usage Time)

Microwave Oven (800–1,500 W): Can be used intermittently without much strain.
Electric Kettle (1,500–2,500 W): Short usage times are acceptable but will consume significant energy quickly.
Washing Machine (500–2,000 W): Can run, but cycles involving heating water will consume more power.
Air Conditioner (1,000–3,500 W): Can run, but will significantly drain the battery; may only run for 1–5 hours depending on power draw.
Electric Oven/Stove (2,000–5,000 W): At the upper limit of your inverter's capacity; running these will heavily tax your system.

Usage Examples

Scenario 1: Running multiple low-power devices:
- LED Lights: 100 W total
- Refrigerator: 200 W
- TV: 150 W
- Laptop: 50 W
- Total: ~500 W
- Battery Duration: 5 kWh / 0.5 kW = 10 hours

Scenario 2: Running a high-power appliance:
- Electric Kettle: 2,000 W
- Battery Duration: 5 kWh / 2 kW = 2.5 hours (but kettles are typically used for minutes)

Scenario 3: Combining appliances:
- Air Conditioner: 2,500 W
- Refrigerator: 200 W
- Lights: 100 W
- Total: ~2,800 W
- Battery Duration: 5 kWh / 2.8 kW ≈ 1.8 hours
