5.5kW Lux 5.12kWh Shoto Back Up

A matched battery back-up package: Shoto inverter rated at 5.5 kW, paired with 5.12 kWh of storage.

Without panels, the battery charges from the grid when power is on and takes over automatically during load-shedding. Panels can be added later on most hybrid inverters. At 5.5 kW it suits a typical family home: lights, plugs, fridges, TV, Wi-Fi and a microwave, with careful use of the kettle. With about 80% of 5.12 kWh usable, a 1 kW evening load runs for roughly 4.1 hours before the battery needs a recharge (an estimate; real runtime depends on the load).

Key details

Before you order

• Ask for the full component list: we send it with your quote so you can see exactly what is included and what installation material you still need.
• Tell us what has to stay on during an outage so we can confirm the inverter and battery size.
• Match the inverter to your supply: single phase for most homes, three phase for larger homes and businesses.
• Installation must be done by a registered electrician, who issues a Certificate of Compliance. Grid-connected systems also need municipal registration.

Covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, on top of your rights under the Consumer Protection Act. Prices include 15% VAT.
