Two in series make a 24V bank and four make 48V. Ask us at our Kiserian shop to size the bank for your inverter.

FAQ

Questions about this item

Straight answers before you buy. Anything else? Ask the counter.

Which solar panel do I need for a small lighting system?

For a few LED bulbs and phone charging, a YACHU 60W–150W panel (KSh 3,000 to 5,500) with a 10A or 20A PWM charge controller and a 12V gel battery is a simple set-up. Use DC bulbs (from KSh 100) to skip the inverter. Add a 12V inverter for a TV, or a hybrid kit for a fridge.

Example from our counter: 100W panel KSh 4,000 + 10A controller KSh 1,500 + 12V 100Ah gel battery KSh 14,000 = KSh 19,500, before cables and fitting.

How many batteries do I need for a 5kVA or 6.2kW inverter?

A 6.2kW inverter like the YACHU 6.2kW is a 48V unit, so it needs a 48V battery bank: one 48V (51.2V) lithium battery, such as our YACHU 5kWh (KSh 95,000) or 10kWh (KSh 160,000), or four 12V batteries wired in series. Many 5kVA hybrid inverters also run at 48V; check the label.

Four 12V 200Ah gel batteries in series store about 9.6kWh, but only about half is usable if you want them to last, so they give roughly the same usable energy as the 5kWh lithium battery. More storage means longer backup, not more power at once.

Lithium or gel battery: which is better for solar?

Lithium costs more upfront but usually lasts much longer: YACHU lithium batteries are listed at 6,000+ cycles with Grade A CATL cells, are lighter, and let you use more of their stored energy. Gel batteries are cheaper to start, from KSh 14,000 for a 12V 100Ah. Lithium suits daily cycling; gel suits lighter or occasional backup.

  • YACHU 2.5kWh lithium (12.8V 200Ah or 25.6V 100Ah): KSh 40,000, about 2.3kWh usable
  • 12V 200Ah gel: KSh 30,000, about 1.2kWh usable if you use half

On our arithmetic, the lithium battery already costs less per usable kWh, before counting its longer life. These are estimates; we can compare both for your load.

How much is a lithium battery in Kenya?

At Technics Electricals & Solar in Kiserian, YACHU lithium batteries cost KSh 40,000 for 2.5kWh (12.8V 200Ah or 25.6V 100Ah), KSh 95,000 for 5kWh (51.2V 100Ah) and KSh 160,000 for 10kWh (48V 200Ah). All use Grade A CATL cells, rated for 6,000+ cycles with a 6-year warranty, as listed.

Pick the voltage that matches your inverter: 12.8V for 12V, 25.6V for 24V, and 48V or 51.2V for 48V inverters. The warranty is the manufacturer’s; ask us for terms.
