Sunsynk 5.0kW Elite Hybrid Inverter – Single‑Phase, IP65

  • 5.0kW single‑phase hybrid inverter for combining solar PV, batteries and grid power in one IP65‑rated unit.
  • High PV input (up to 8kW) and 5kW AC output, ideal for small commercial, light industrial and larger residential systems.
  • Compatible with Sunsynk Elite stackable batteries for scalable storage up to 30.72kWh using the dedicated 40–60V battery bus.

The Sunsynk 5.0kW Elite Hybrid Inverter (model SS‑5kW‑ELITE‑HYB‑1P‑IP65‑00) is a single‑phase hybrid inverter that manages energy flows between PV, battery and the grid. It suits small commercial units, workshops, retail sites and larger homes needing around 5kW of continuous power with integrated battery charging and backup capability. With generous PV input headroom, intelligent protections and IP65 construction, it provides a solid platform for self‑consumption, peak‑shaving and backup projects across the UK and export markets.

Key features

  • 5kW rated AC input/output power with 5.5kVA apparent power for single‑phase 230V systems.
  • Up to 8kW of PV input power with dual MPPTs, allowing oversizing of arrays for better generation in poor light.
  • High battery charge and discharge currents (up to 120A) on a 40–60V LiFePO₄ battery bus, optimised for Sunsynk Elite stackable batteries.
  • Comprehensive protection package including DC reverse polarity, AC over‑current/over‑voltage, short‑circuit, thermal protection and optional AFCI.
  • Non‑isolated, IP65‑rated enclosure with intelligent air cooling and low operating noise, suitable for plant rooms, garages or covered outdoor locations.
