Shop by voltage / use
- Low voltage (48 / 51.2V) — the usual home hybrid choice with Deye, Sunsynk, Solis, Luxpower and similar LV inverters.
- High voltage — series stacks for HV hybrids and larger homes / light commercial.
- Commercial storage — cabinets and larger ESS packs for C&I sites.
Size battery kWh against the loads you keep on during an outage, and always confirm the battery is on your inverter’s compatibility list (CAN/RS485 BMS). Pair with a matching inverter and the right battery cables and BMS leads. Prefer a kit? See bundle deals.
Qualified installation and correct fusing/protection are essential. Ask Powerforum if you need help matching voltage, communications and usable capacity.
Frequently asked questions
What is LiFePO4?
LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) is the chemistry used in most modern solar batteries we list: long cycle life, stable chemistry, and suitable for daily solar cycling and load-shedding backup when correctly sized.
48V or high-voltage?
Most homes use 48V/51.2V modules with LV hybrids. HV stacks suit larger power needs and specific HV inverter models — check the inverter datasheet before you buy.
Are prices VAT-inclusive?
Yes. Product prices on Powerforum Store include VAT unless a page says otherwise.
BloombergNEF (BNEF) Tier 1 for energy storage is a bankability / project-deployment list (not a quality certificate). Tier 1 storage brands in this collection: BYD, Pylontech, Sungrow, Sunwoda.
Why Tier 1?
BNEF lists storage makers whose own-brand, own-made batteries or systems have recently been selected for qualifying stationary storage projects (BNEF also tracks financing criteria). Compared with makers that have not met that project bar, Tier 1–listed storage brands are more often accepted by lenders and insurers. Makers that keep winning large third-party deployments are more likely still to be around to honour warranties, and tend to show steadier supply and longer support — which can also help resale value. Always still confirm BMS compatibility with your inverter and follow the installer’s design.
