For homes and small businesses across Kenya's coast — Mombasa, Malindi, Diani, Kilifi, Watamu — and inland areas building out a 48V hybrid solar system, the SRNE 5kWh Lithium Battery offers a proven, well-documented storage option from SRNE Solar. This EOC Series variant delivers 5.12kWh of usable energy at 51.2V nominal voltage and 100Ah rated capacity, using a simplified battery-pack design well suited to inverter rooms, battery racks, and expandable solar systems where multiple units can be added as power needs grow.

Built on Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) chemistry, the battery is rated for 6000 charge-discharge cycles at 80% depth of discharge, giving an expected service life of roughly 20 years — a strong long-term investment compared to lead-acid batteries, which tend to need replacing far more often in Kenya's hot, humid coastal climate. The EOC Series supports modular parallel connection of up to 9 units, allowing total storage capacity to scale up to around 45kWh for larger households or small commercial premises without switching battery families.

This EOC variant is typically supplied without the onboard LCD display found on SRNE's near-identical EOS series (the display-equipped sibling of the same 5.12kWh/100Ah spec) — worth checking with your supplier if real-time on-unit monitoring is a priority, versus app-based monitoring alone. It supports flexible wall-mount or rack-mount installation and is compatible with most standard 48V inverters, making it a practical, cost-effective mid-tier storage option for CoastalSolar customers building out a hybrid solar or solar-wind system.

FAQ:
Q: What's the difference between the EOC and EOS series for this battery?
A: Both share the same core specs (5.12kWh, 48V, 100Ah), but the EOS series includes a built-in LCD display for on-unit monitoring, while the EOC series typically ships without one — a factor to weigh if you want at-a-glance status without opening an app.

Q: Can I expand storage later by adding more units?
A: Yes, the EOC Series supports parallel connection of up to 9 units, scaling total capacity to roughly 45kWh.

Q: What inverters is it compatible with?
A: It's designed for compatibility with most standard 48V inverters commonly used in Kenyan solar installations — confirm exact compatibility with your specific inverter model before purchase.

Q: How does this compare to the SRNE 10kWh battery?
A: The 10kWh (SR-EOS10B) offers double the capacity at 200Ah in a single unit; this 5kWh EOC05B is a smaller, more budget-friendly building block that can also be stacked for larger systems.
