Chinese power electronics and battery storage heavyweight Sungrow, which is best known for its utility-scale products and system integration, has released a new residential battery energy storage system (BESS).
The 5.12 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) system comes with a compact 182 mm design. It allows for expansion from one to four units in parallel, providing a maximum capacity of 20.48 kWh.
The SBS050 system is paired with Sungrow’s SHRS-20 inverter series and capable of handling a charge/discharge current of up to 50 A.
“This enables quick power delivery during grid fluctuations or peak demand, efficiently supporting high-power household appliances and lowering energy costs,” said the manufacturer.

50 amp? Thats actually bad?
Assuming this is a 48v system, that’s around 2500w which is not that useful for a whole home system.
Most drop in batteries can sustain 100amps.
umm..actually casual math shows a 5kw on 50 amp draw is a 110v appliance. Great for backup on a circuit/dedicated system. Also, it is expandable in parallel.. to 4 (hence 200 amp) as this is just the starter. I agree it may not be much for wasteful western standards, but vital to the rest of the world. I dont know when ppl will stop judging china/chinese products in conventional/western eccentricities and realize their main use cases are geared to the rest of the (still developing, but high potential) world.
