The S6-EA1P5K-L connects at the consumer unit on the AC side, reading grid import and export through a current transformer. It charges the battery from solar, from the grid during low-tariff periods, or from both, without touching the existing inverter or DC wiring. Firmware updates and battery monitoring run remotely through SolisCloud, and non-communicating lithium batteries are supported for flexible configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuited to retrofitting battery storage onto an existing grid-tied solar installation, particularly where a DC-coupled upgrade isn't practical. It also fits time-of-use tariff optimisation and adding backup power to a system that's already installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrid connection requires G98 or G99 compliance in the UK, depending on combined system size. Installation must be carried out by a qualified MCS-accredited installer, with battery type and communication protocol configured at commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060759064864,"sku":"S6-EA1P5K-L","price":870.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-s6-ea1p5k-l-1.webp?v=1785504300","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/solis-s6-5kw-ac-coupled-inverter","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
