SolisStorage IntelliHome-5kWh-OD5kWh 51.2V LiFePO4 battery for wall or floor mounting, IP66

Overview

IntelliHome-5kWh-OD is the smallest model of the SolisStorage IntelliHome-OD range: a self-contained 51.2V LiFePO4 battery of 5kWh, listed as 5,120Wh in Solis CEI 0-21 declarations, built with 100Ah cells. It charges and discharges at 50A recommended, with up to 100A discharge. At 470×655×175mm and 47kg it can hang on a wall or stand on the floor, indoors or outdoors thanks to IP66 and C5-M ratings. Up to eight units can be paralleled.

• 5, 10 or 16kWh in one housing
• 51.2V nominal, 44.8–57.6V operating range
• Up to 8 units in parallel, 128kWh
• IP66 and C5-M for indoor or outdoor use
• Smart heating for operation down to -20°C
• ≥8000 cycles (5/10kWh), ≥10000 cycles (16kWh) stated by the cell maker

How it works

IntelliHome-OD is a single-cabinet low-voltage battery from SolisStorage, offered in three sizes. The 5kWh and 10kWh models use 100Ah LiFePO4 cells, the 16kWh model uses 314Ah cells, and all operate between 44.8V and 57.6V. Each unit has its own protection functions, SOC and status indicators and CAN/RS485 communication with the inverter; unlike the stackable FlexHome range, no separate control module is listed.

Recommended charge and discharge current is 50A for 5kWh, 100A for 10kWh and 157A for 16kWh. Maximum discharge current is 1C on the 5kWh and 10kWh units, 100A and 200A, while the 16kWh unit is limited to 0.5C, 157A. Up to eight units can be connected in parallel for a total of 128kWh.

Safety and environment

Protection covers over- and under-voltage, over-current and over- or under-temperature, with a DC breaker, DC overcurrent fuses, an aerogel thermal insulation plate, a fire protection function and explosion-release valves. The housing is rated IP66 with C5-M corrosion resistance, so it can be installed outdoors. With the smart heating function, the operating range is -20…+55°C.

Installation and compatibility

The 5kWh unit measures 470×655×175mm and weighs 47kg, the 10kWh unit 470×1075×175mm and 90kg, and the 16kWh unit 470×950×264mm and 122kg. All can be wall-mounted or floor-standing and are naturally cooled. Maximum operating altitude is 4000m, the storage temperature range is -10…+45°C and relative humidity may range from 5% to 95%. State of charge and status are shown on the unit's own indicators.
