Why this product wins projects

Engineering decisions that reduce your risk and cost

Liquid cooling, ±2°C uniformity

Precision thermal management extends cycle life and stops thermal runaway propagation. Validated to UL 9540A unit-level.

Single-string topology

One string per container eliminates inter-cluster circulating currents — simpler BMS, higher efficiency, no power loss to active equalization.

Multi-layer fire safety

VESDA aspirating detection + dual-stage gas suppression + explosion vents. Meets the latest NFPA 855 and SIBA requirements.

Cloud EMS included

Real-time SOC/SOH monitoring, dispatch logic for arbitrage and ancillary services, OTA firmware updates. Browser dashboard, mobile app, REST API.

Plug-and-play deployment

Site work limited to foundation, AC cable termination, and grid relay coordination. Typical install-to-energization: 14 days.

20-year asset framework

Long-term performance warranties, spare-parts guaranteed for 15 years, augmentation pathways pre-engineered into the SCADA layer.

FAQ

All-in-one home energy storage system — common questions

What is included in the SMS-AIO-12-20 home energy storage system?

A single floor-standing cabinet with: 12kW hybrid solar inverter (3-phase), 20kWh LiFePO4 lithium battery (51.2V 400Ah), built-in MPPT solar charger, transfer switch and BMS. Just connect PV panels, grid input and AC loads — no extra battery enclosure or wiring closet needed.

Can I expand beyond 20kWh lithium battery capacity?

Yes. Add up to 3 external SMS-PRO standing batteries to reach 80 kWh total. Compatible expansion modules: 15kWh, 16kWh, 20kWh and 30kWh lithium battery options — all 51.2V 314Ah LiFePO4 architecture.

Does this home energy storage system work off-grid?

Fully off-grid capable. The 12kW inverter handles black-start from battery alone, accepts diesel/petrol generator input for hybrid operation, and supports EV-charger pass-through up to 11kW. Ideal for rural homes, cabins and load-shedding regions.
