What makes it so special on using Lithium ion LFP battery for Solar Energy Storage.
The energy storage market is became large these days. no matter you live on grid or off grid. BESS helps solve variability issues with renewables. Adding a solar battery to a grid-connected residential project also allows the array to keep providing power to critical loads when the grid is down, instead of having to disconnect and refrain from generating power. Storage can also help commercial consumers reduce peak demand charges, significantly lowering their energy bills. Storage is even used at the utility level to help provide ancillary services to the grid. The need for storage grows as states pass self-consumption and other legislation that promotes the use of batteries.
Batteries in solar energy storage have to meet the demands of unstable grid energy, heavy cycling (charging and discharging) and irregular full recharging. There’s a variety of battery types fitted for these unique requirements. Considerations for choosing a battery include cost, cycle life and installation and maintenance.
Lithium-ion LFP Battery
According to a U.S. Solar Energy Monitor report, lithium-ion batteries are the most common storage technology, regardless of application. There are three types: pouches such as in smartphones and tablets, cylindrical such as in power tools, and prismatic (which come in various shapes) such as in electronic vehicles. Prismatic types often have corrugated sides, which create air gaps between adjacent cells and can aid in cooling. The prismatic can have applications in solar energy storage, specifically lithium ion phosphate (LFP) batteries.
Cost: Deutsche Bank analysts estimated lithium-ion batteries at about $500/kWh at the end of 2014, but OSM as an OEM Lithium ion manufacturer based said it’s closer to $450 to $550/kWh. Overall, from manufactuer price, it is very close to lead acid batteries. Part of this cost comes from needing a battery management system to monitor the voltage and temperature of each cell to prevent excessive charging and discharging. A BMS isn’t critical for other technologies like lead acid because the inverter or charger controller can handle the battery charging regime. However, some manufacturers note that, if sized correctly, lithium-ion cells can reduce the cost of peripheral devices like charge controllers, offsetting its higher initial price and lowering cost-of-ownership.
Cycling: Lithium-ion batteries can typically deliver more cycles in their lifetime than lead-acid. This makes them a good choice for applications when batteries are cycled to provide ancillary services to the grid such as energy smoothing or frequency and voltage support. The most important benefit lithium-ion provides for solar is its high charge and discharge efficiencies, which help harvest more energy. Lithium-ion batteries also lose less capacity when idle, which is useful in solar installations where energy is only used occasionally.
Replacement/maintenance: Lithium-ion batteries can be lighter and more self contained than lead-acid batteries, so may be easier to install and change out. They can be wall-mounted and located indoors or outdoors. They are solid, so don’t require refills or maintenance.
Disposal: Lithium-ion batteries can use organic or inorganic cells. Organic-based batteries are free from any toxins. Inorganic-based cells are much more difficult to dispose of. Inorganic lithium-ion is toxic so it must be disposed of properly. Manufacturers encourage recycling, but there is often a price. Spent lithium-ion cells have little commercial value. Lithium-ion manufacturing involves lengthy preparation and purification of the raw material. In recycling, the metal must go through a similar process again, so it’s often cheaper to mine virgin material than retrieve it from recycling.
Choosing the right battery
Use a sizing calculator
Battery sizing is essential but often overlooked by users and installers. Batteries in PV systems are routinely undersized due to cost or because the system loads were underestimated. It’s important to know the customer’s power needs and correctly plan. Many online calculators provided by battery manufacturers and other software simplifies determining battery capacity for load requirements.
Consider cost of ownership
There are several factors that should be taken into account when determining the total cost of ownership over the life of the battery.
• Price: A battery with a low price is always attractive, but if low price comes at the expense of quality and battery life, the need for frequent battery replacements could boost the cost over time. That’s why it’s important to consider issues other than price when making the decision.
• Capacity: Battery capacity is important because it’s a measure of the amount of energy stored in the battery.
• Voltage: The battery bank voltage must be considered to ensure it matches the system requirements. The battery bank voltage is often determined by the inverter specifications if installing a DC-to-AC system or by the voltage of the loads in a DC system.
• Cycle Life: The most critical consideration is cycle life, which provides the number of discharge/charge cycles the battery can provide before capacity drops to a specified percentage of rated capacity. Batteries from different manufacturers may have the same capacity and energy content and be similar in weight. But design, materials, process and quality influence how long the battery will cycle.
OSM 5Kwh Lithium ion LFP battery moduler
The model is stackable flexible for different energy requirments. You can add more modulers to increase capacity and energy like 10Kwh or 20kwh
- Battery Type: Lithium ion LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries)
- Battery System Voltage: 48v ( 51.2v)
- Total energy: 5 Kwh (5.12Kwh)
- Capacity: 100 amp hour
- Brand name: OSM Energy
- Design installtion: Wall mounted (powerwall)
Battery ratings
The nameplate rating on a battery is the fully developed capacity, so it can be misleading to test a battery immediately after it is purchased because it may take up to 100+ cycles for it to reach its full capacity. Beware of batteries that promise full capacity at the time of purchase or those that reach full capacity after only a few cycles. Batteries with a 100+ cycle warm-up will always outlast those touting a high initial capacity.
A 5,000 WATT( 5 KW ) SOLAR SYSTEM INFORMATION AND PRICING
A 5000W solar power system is a size that should easily offset a typical home’s electricity usage. If it doesn’t, then you’ve got one serious energy guzzler of a home and should really consider an energy audit before going solar!
5 kW solar systems are also the minimum system size you should be considering if you’re looking to add batteries to your system in the future. Here’s what you need to know about 5kw solar system price and other information.
How many solar panels will you need?
To make up a 5kW solar system, you need 17 solar panels, assuming you use 300W panels – that will actually give you 5.1kW.
Each panel will be about 1.6m x 1m, so you’ll need at least 17.2m² of roof space.
How much electricity will a 5kW solar system generate?
A 5kW solar system will generate approximately 20kWh per day, depending on your location and a variety of other factors. The average home in Australia uses about 16kWh per day.
Note that this does not mean installing a 5kW solar power system will automatically give you a $0 electricity bill, as most households use the majority of their electricity at night when the sun isn’t shining – I talk about this in greater detail here.
How much money will a 5kW solar system save?
You may be thinking: “If the 5kW system offsets my energy usage, then surely it’s going to wipe out my electricity bill?”
Unfortunately it is not that simple! The amount the electricity companies will pay you for your solar energy (what’s known as a feed-in tariff) is, way lower than the price they charge you to buy the same electricity from the grid! Plus, there’s other costs on a bill such as supply charges, aka service charges. However, a 5kW solar power system is still an excellent investment.
Let’s say you get paid about 8c per kWh for exported energy (some retailers offer more) compared to 30c per kWh to buy electricity back from the mains grid. Here’s 3 scenarios to show how the 5kW system payback works:
- Use all the solar electricity by the 5kW systems in your home. This is unlikely unless you have a mini aluminium smelter in your back garden – or you operate a small business from your home.
If that were your situation, you would save approximately $2100 in the first year, and around $67,000 over 20 years; taking electricity inflation of 5% into account. Those are some serious savings. - Export half the electricity: You would save about $1400 in the first year.
- Export all the electricity: You would save about $700 in the first year with a 5kW system.
How much does a 5kW solar power system cost?
The cost of a 5kW solar system will be around $10,000 before STCs, then you should get about $3,500 subsidy from STCs (aka the solar rebate), which takes a big chunk out of the up-front price. Taking into account the subsidy, expect to pay about $4,500 – $8,000 out of pocket costs for a good quality 5kW system, depending on the components selected and the installer’s approach to installation. Here is a basic price range cost in USA
| 5 KW SOLAR SYSTEM PRICE RANGE | Average cost of 5kW solar system |
|---|---|
| Arizona | $11,400 – $13,600 |
| California | $12,700 – $16,700 |
| Colorado | $14,250 – $16,950 |
| Florida | $11,600 – $15,300 |
| Massachusetts | $13,700 – $17,300 |
| Maryland | $12,950 – $16,750 |
| New Jersey | $12,100 – $15,800 |
| New York | $13,250 – $17,650 |
| Texas | $12,350 – $15,750 |
| Washington | $11,700 – $15,100 |
How long before a 5kW solar power system pays for itself?
If you are not exporting the energy and assuming you’ve paid a reasonable price for a 5kW solar system, then you should see a payback period of less than 5 years – so a fairly rapid payback timeframe. But you can actually be cash flow positive from day one if you get cheap solar finance. It is very easy to finance the purchase so that your monthly energy savings are worth more that the cost of paying back the loan.
It can be a laborious process to find a trustworthy solar installer to provide you with a good-quality 5kW solar power system at a reasonable price.
How is Powerwall Works
Powerwall gives you the ability to store energy for later use and works with or without solar to provide key security and financial benefits. Each Powerwall system includes at least one Powerwall and a Tesla Gateway, which provides energy monitoring, metering and management for the system. The Backup Gateway learns and adapts to your energy use over time, receives over-the-air updates just like the rest of Tesla’s products and is capable of managing up to ten Powerwalls.
With Solar
When the sun rises, solar begins powering the home. When additional power is required within the home, the home can pull from the utility grid.
Powerwall is charged by solar during the day, when solar panels are producing more electricity than the home is consuming. Powerwall then stores that energy until the home needs it, such as when solar is no longer producing at night, or when the utility grid is offline during a power outage.
The next day when the sun comes out, solar recharges Powerwall so you have a cycle of clean, renewable energy.
Without Solar
If your electricity rates vary throughout the day, Powerwall will charge when electricity costs are low and discharge when electricity costs are high, generating automatic savings. Powerwall will also provide seamless backup power by detecting grid outages and automatically becoming the home’s main power source.
4 Tips for 5Kw system Shoppers
1. Homeowners who get multiple quotes save 10% or more
As with any big ticket purchase, shopping for a solar panel installation takes a lot of research and consideration, including a thorough review of the companies in your area. A recent report by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recommended that consumers compare as many solar options as possible to avoid paying inflated prices offered by the large installers in the solar industry.
To find the smaller contractors that typically offer lower prices, you’ll need to use an installer network like EnergySage. You can receive free quotes from vetted installers local to you when you register your property on our Solar Marketplace – homeowners who get 3 or more quotes can expect to save $5,000 to $10,000 on their solar panel installation.
2. The biggest installers typically don’t offer the best price
The bigger isn’t always better mantra is one of the main reasons we strongly encourage homeowners to consider all of their solar options, not just the brands large enough to pay for the most advertising. A recent report by the U.S. government found that large installers are $2,000 to $5,000 more expensive than small solar companies. If you have offers from some of the big installers in solar, make sure you compare those bids with quotes from local installers to ensure you don’t overpay for solar.
3. Use LFP battery acturly save the system cost.
People will normally think it is cost much higher to buying a Lithium iron battery storage system. While a Lead acid system cost much lower. But, ignor the cycle life for them. A qualified LFP battery system is rated 3000more life cycles at 80% DOD. while lead acid is 200 times game over. Then you will need to replace a new battery system. If you calculate based on each day expensive. You will find out. LFP battery system is much lower and more efficiency. OSM offer a standard 5000w battery system at 5Kwh a module. This allowd you upgrade for more capacity in future. Here is the product link: 5kwh OSM48100
Easy hang to the wall design.
4. Comparing all your equipment options is just as important
National-scale installers don’t just offer higher prices – they also tend to have fewer solar equipment options, which can have a significant impact on your system’s electricity production. By collecting a diverse array of solar bids, you can compare costs and savings based on the different equipment packages available to you.
There are multiple variables to consider when seeking out the best solar panels on the market. While certain panels will have higher efficiency ratings than others, investing in top-of-the-line solar equipment doesn’t always result in higher savings. The only way to find the “sweet spot” for your property is to evaluate quotes with varying equipment and financing offers.

OSM Energy 5 kwh battery solar system best price
Recently, OSM Energy released a 5 kwh battery system with complete solution. This 5 Kwh battery pack apply with lithium ion technology. Inside come with built in BMS.
Just like tesla battery wall. OSM 5 kwh battery is a ready to use product. This system is design for Solar Home small energy storage system.
Take this oppotunity, let’s check some FAQ most people concerns:
Price for the Battery system
Price is most concerns people. OSM’s 5 Kwh LFP battery system apply with prismatic LFP 3.2v 50Ah cells. The battery pack is form by 16S2P. 51.2 volt 100Ah. Total energy is 5120Wh. If interested to our price, please contact our sales department for more details about the quotation. Quotation is only the best, as we are directly manufactuer of it.
How long will a 5kWh battery last?
About 25 hours for daily use.
5Kwh means you have totall energy 5000Wh. If we turn to 48 volt. The total battery capacity is about 104Ah.
If the battery is fully charged, how long will it last? It depends on what you are running on it. If you have a few lights on and you’re watching TV, doing some cooking, Let’s say, the total consume is 200W. And this consume is lasting about 25hours.
Same if people ask How long will a 10 kWh battery last? It last about 2days.
How many batteries is 5000 watts?
I guess the question should be How many batteries is 5000 watts hours by fully charged. If talking about our prismatic cell 3.2v 50Ah. Then the calculation is like : 5000wh/3.2volt=1562.5Ah. 1562.5Ah/50Ah=31.25. Means you should have about 31pcs 3.2v 50Ah battery cells. So, how many batteries is 5000watts hours will depends on which kind of battery you use.
How do you convert kWh to hours?
When you see Kwh. The “h” means hours. if you have 5Kwh battery. And the consum is 5000w. Then you only get 1 hour to use this battery pack.
Battery Energy Storage Systems and Their Role in Grid Integration
The question of what role grid-scale battery storage plays in a power system has gained prominence because of the increasing need for power system flexibility coupled with the rapid decline in the cost of storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries. More utilities and governments seek to determine whether battery storage is a cost-effective option for integrating large shares of variable renewable energy, such as wind and solar, into their power systems.
While energy storage presents an enormous opportunity to improve power system operations, many power systems can support variable renewable energy integration using other methods such as system operation improvements or conventional generation flexibility. The appropriate amount of grid-scale battery storage depends on system-specific characteristics. A careful analysis is always required to understand whether investing in energy storage is the best option.
Battery energy storage systems (OSM BESS) are best suited for applications that require a fast response time and a high power demand over the short or medium term. They improve the reliability, availability and efficiency of the power supply. OSM BESS are ideal for applications like peak shaving, frequency control and load balancing, as well as renewable integration through ramp rate control and energy time shift. Energy storage systems generate much higher value when multiple, stacked services are provided in the same system.

The amount the electricity companies will pay you for your solar energy (what’s known as a feed-in tariff) is, way lower than the price they charge you to buy the same electricity from the grid! Plus, there’s other costs on a bill such as supply charges, aka service charges. However, a 5kW solar power system is still an excellent investment.
Let’s say you get paid about 8c per kWh for exported energy (some retailers offer more) compared to 30c per kWh to buy electricity back from the mains grid. Here’s 3 scenarios to show how the 5kW system payback works:
- Use all the solar electricity by the 5kW systems in your home. This is unlikely unless you have a mini aluminium smelter in your back garden – or you operate a small business from your home.
If that were your situation, you would save approximately $2100 in the first year, and around $67,000 over 20 years; taking electricity inflation of 5% into account. Those are some serious savings. - Export half the electricity: You would save about $1400 in the first year.
- Export all the electricity: You would save about $700 in the first year with a 5kW system.
How much does a 5kW solar power system cost?
The cost of a 5kW solar system will be around $10,000 before STCs, then you should get about $3,500 subsidy from STCs (aka the solar rebate), which takes a big chunk out of the up-front price. Taking into account the subsidy, expect to pay about $4,500 – $8,000 out of pocket costs for a good quality 5kW system, depending on the components selected and the installer’s approach to installation. Here is a basic price range cost in USA
| 5 KW SOLAR SYSTEM PRICE RANGE | Average cost of 5kW solar system |
|---|---|
| Arizona | $11,400 – $13,600 |
| California | $12,700 – $16,700 |
| Colorado | $14,250 – $16,950 |
| Florida | $11,600 – $15,300 |
| Massachusetts | $13,700 – $17,300 |
| Maryland | $12,950 – $16,750 |
| New Jersey | $12,100 – $15,800 |
| New York | $13,250 – $17,650 |
| Texas | $12,350 – $15,750 |
| Washington | $11,700 – $15,100 |
How long before a 5kW solar power system pays for itself?
If you are not exporting the energy and assuming you’ve paid a reasonable price for a 5kW solar system, then you should see a payback period of less than 5 years – so a fairly rapid payback timeframe. But you can actually be cash flow positive from day one if you get cheap solar finance. It is very easy to finance the purchase so that your monthly energy savings are worth more that the cost of paying back the loan.
It can be a laborious process to find a trustworthy solar installer to provide you with a good-quality 5kW solar power system at a reasonable price.
How is Powerwall Works
Powerwall gives you the ability to store energy for later use and works with or without solar to provide key security and financial benefits. Each Powerwall system includes at least one Powerwall and a Tesla Gateway, which provides energy monitoring, metering and management for the system. The Backup Gateway learns and adapts to your energy use over time, receives over-the-air updates just like the rest of Tesla’s products and is capable of managing up to ten Powerwalls.
With Solar
When the sun rises, solar begins powering the home. When additional power is required within the home, the home can pull from the utility grid.
Powerwall is charged by solar during the day, when solar panels are producing more electricity than the home is consuming. Powerwall then stores that energy until the home needs it, such as when solar is no longer producing at night, or when the utility grid is offline during a power outage.
The next day when the sun comes out, solar recharges Powerwall so you have a cycle of clean, renewable energy.
Without Solar
If your electricity rates vary throughout the day, Powerwall will charge when electricity costs are low and discharge when electricity costs are high, generating automatic savings. Powerwall will also provide seamless backup power by detecting grid outages and automatically becoming the home’s main power source.
4 Tips for 5Kw system Shoppers
1. Homeowners who get multiple quotes save 10% or more
As with any big ticket purchase, shopping for a solar panel installation takes a lot of research and consideration, including a thorough review of the companies in your area. A recent report by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recommended that consumers compare as many solar options as possible to avoid paying inflated prices offered by the large installers in the solar industry.
To find the smaller contractors that typically offer lower prices, you’ll need to use an installer network like EnergySage. You can receive free quotes from vetted installers local to you when you register your property on our Solar Marketplace – homeowners who get 3 or more quotes can expect to save $5,000 to $10,000 on their solar panel installation.
2. The biggest installers typically don’t offer the best price
The bigger isn’t always better mantra is one of the main reasons we strongly encourage homeowners to consider all of their solar options, not just the brands large enough to pay for the most advertising. A recent report by the U.S. government found that large installers are $2,000 to $5,000 more expensive than small solar companies. If you have offers from some of the big installers in solar, make sure you compare those bids with quotes from local installers to ensure you don’t overpay for solar.
3. Use LFP battery acturly save the system cost.
People will normally think it is cost much higher to buying a Lithium iron battery storage system. While a Lead acid system cost much lower. But, ignor the cycle life for them. A qualified LFP battery system is rated 3000more life cycles at 80% DOD. while lead acid is 200 times game over. Then you will need to replace a new battery system. If you calculate based on each day expensive. You will find out. LFP battery system is much lower and more efficiency. OSM offer a standard 5000w battery system at 5Kwh a module. This allowd you upgrade for more capacity in future. Here is the product link: 5kwh OSM48100
Easy hang to the wall design.
4. Comparing all your equipment options is just as important
National-scale installers don’t just offer higher prices – they also tend to have fewer solar equipment options, which can have a significant impact on your system’s electricity production. By collecting a diverse array of solar bids, you can compare costs and savings based on the different equipment packages available to you.
There are multiple variables to consider when seeking out the best solar panels on the market. While certain panels will have higher efficiency ratings than others, investing in top-of-the-line solar equipment doesn’t always result in higher savings. The only way to find the “sweet spot” for your property is to evaluate quotes with varying equipment and financing offers.
For any homeowner in the early stage of shopping for solar that would just like a ballpark estimate for an installation, try our Solar Calculator that offers upfront cost and long-term savings estimates based on your location and roof type.

Battery Energy Storage Systems and Their Role in Grid Integration
The question of what role grid-scale battery storage plays in a power system has gained prominence because of the increasing need for power system flexibility coupled with the rapid decline in the cost of storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries. More utilities and governments seek to determine whether battery storage is a cost-effective option for integrating large shares of variable renewable energy, such as wind and solar, into their power systems.
While energy storage presents an enormous opportunity to improve power system operations, many power systems can support variable renewable energy integration using other methods such as system operation improvements or conventional generation flexibility. The appropriate amount of grid-scale battery storage depends on system-specific characteristics. A careful analysis is always required to understand whether investing in energy storage is the best option.
Battery energy storage systems (OSM BESS) are best suited for applications that require a fast response time and a high power demand over the short or medium term. They improve the reliability, availability and efficiency of the power supply. OSM BESS are ideal for applications like peak shaving, frequency control and load balancing, as well as renewable integration through ramp rate control and energy time shift. Energy storage systems generate much higher value when multiple, stacked services are provided in the same system.
1. What is the exact power capacity and price per unit in the stack?
All our low voltage battery solution maximum charging power is 0.7C and maximum dicharge power is 1C. For example the 2.56kWh battery which is 51.2V 50Ah, so the single battery maximum charging current is 35A and maximum discharging current is 50A. However, the total current is limited by the cable and connector. The unit price is around 210 USD to 230 USD per kwh. It depends on how many you buy.
2. What is the price for a 15 kWh System? What is extra needed to inter connect systems?
For example our wall mounted 5.12kWh battery pack. You need there of them to achieve 15kWh. The total price is 3500 USD. The interner connections are power cables, communication cables and grounding cables.
3. Do yo provide us with the CE certification for import in Europe?
Yes
4. Does the battery has an automatic protection against overcharging or discharging lower then e.g. DOD 90%? and here we mean not just an alarm, but an effective protection to stop discharging @90%.
Yes. All lithium battery must be protected by BMS for a long lifespan. There are low SOC, low voltage(single cell, total) alarm and protection to protect batteries.
5. What are the shipping costs for a shipment to Belgium europe?
Based on 2021 Jan. offered price.It should be around 20 USD per pack for a full container from China to Belgium europe. However recently the sea shipping cost rises sharply and always change.

What makes it so special on using Lithium ion LFP battery for Solar Energy Storage.
The energy storage market is became large these days. no matter you live on grid or off grid. BESS helps solve variability issues with renewables. Adding a solar battery to a grid-connected residential project also allows the array to keep providing power to critical loads when the grid is down, instead of having to disconnect and refrain from generating power. Storage can also help commercial consumers reduce peak demand charges, significantly lowering their energy bills. Storage is even used at the utility level to help provide ancillary services to the grid. The need for storage grows as states pass self-consumption and other legislation that promotes the use of batteries.
Batteries in solar energy storage have to meet the demands of unstable grid energy, heavy cycling (charging and discharging) and irregular full recharging. There’s a variety of battery types fitted for these unique requirements. Considerations for choosing a battery include cost, cycle life and installation and maintenance.
Lithium-ion LFP Battery
According to a U.S. Solar Energy Monitor report, lithium-ion batteries are the most common storage technology, regardless of application. There are three types: pouches such as in smartphones and tablets, cylindrical such as in power tools, and prismatic (which come in various shapes) such as in electronic vehicles. Prismatic types often have corrugated sides, which create air gaps between adjacent cells and can aid in cooling. The prismatic can have applications in solar energy storage, specifically lithium ion phosphate (LFP) batteries.
Cost: Deutsche Bank analysts estimated lithium-ion batteries at about $500/kWh at the end of 2014, but OSM as an OEM Lithium ion manufacturer based said it’s closer to $450 to $550/kWh. Overall, from manufactuer price, it is very close to lead acid batteries. Part of this cost comes from needing a battery management system to monitor the voltage and temperature of each cell to prevent excessive charging and discharging. A BMS isn’t critical for other technologies like lead acid because the inverter or charger controller can handle the battery charging regime. However, some manufacturers note that, if sized correctly, lithium-ion cells can reduce the cost of peripheral devices like charge controllers, offsetting its higher initial price and lowering cost-of-ownership.
Cycling: Lithium-ion batteries can typically deliver more cycles in their lifetime than lead-acid. This makes them a good choice for applications when batteries are cycled to provide ancillary services to the grid such as energy smoothing or frequency and voltage support. The most important benefit lithium-ion provides for solar is its high charge and discharge efficiencies, which help harvest more energy. Lithium-ion batteries also lose less capacity when idle, which is useful in solar installations where energy is only used occasionally.
Replacement/maintenance: Lithium-ion batteries can be lighter and more self contained than lead-acid batteries, so may be easier to install and change out. They can be wall-mounted and located indoors or outdoors. They are solid, so don’t require refills or maintenance.
Disposal: Lithium-ion batteries can use organic or inorganic cells. Organic-based batteries are free from any toxins. Inorganic-based cells are much more difficult to dispose of. Inorganic lithium-ion is toxic so it must be disposed of properly. Manufacturers encourage recycling, but there is often a price. Spent lithium-ion cells have little commercial value. Lithium-ion manufacturing involves lengthy preparation and purification of the raw material. In recycling, the metal must go through a similar process again, so it’s often cheaper to mine virgin material than retrieve it from recycling.
Choosing the right battery
Use a sizing calculator
Battery sizing is essential but often overlooked by users and installers. Batteries in PV systems are routinely undersized due to cost or because the system loads were underestimated. It’s important to know the customer’s power needs and correctly plan. Many online calculators provided by battery manufacturers and other software simplifies determining battery capacity for load requirements.
Consider cost of ownership
There are several factors that should be taken into account when determining the total cost of ownership over the life of the battery.
• Price: A battery with a low price is always attractive, but if low price comes at the expense of quality and battery life, the need for frequent battery replacements could boost the cost over time. That’s why it’s important to consider issues other than price when making the decision.
• Capacity: Battery capacity is important because it’s a measure of the amount of energy stored in the battery.
• Voltage: The battery bank voltage must be considered to ensure it matches the system requirements. The battery bank voltage is often determined by the inverter specifications if installing a DC-to-AC system or by the voltage of the loads in a DC system.
• Cycle Life: The most critical consideration is cycle life, which provides the number of discharge/charge cycles the battery can provide before capacity drops to a specified percentage of rated capacity. Batteries from different manufacturers may have the same capacity and energy content and be similar in weight. But design, materials, process and quality influence how long the battery will cycle.
OSM 5Kwh Lithium ion LFP battery moduler
The model is stackable flexible for different energy requirments. You can add more modulers to increase capacity and energy like 10Kwh or 20kwh
- Battery Type: Lithium ion LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries)
- Battery System Voltage: 48v ( 51.2v)
- Total energy: 5 Kwh (5.12Kwh)
- Capacity: 100 amp hour
- Brand name: OSM Energy
- Design installtion: Wall mounted (powerwall)
Battery ratings
The nameplate rating on a battery is the fully developed capacity, so it can be misleading to test a battery immediately after it is purchased because it may take up to 100+ cycles for it to reach its full capacity. Beware of batteries that promise full capacity at the time of purchase or those that reach full capacity after only a few cycles. Batteries with a 100+ cycle warm-up will always outlast those touting a high initial capacity.
What is BMS
battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the battery from operating outside its safe operating area[clarification needed], monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment, authenticating it and / or balancing it.[1]
A battery pack built together with a battery management system with an external communication data bus is a smart battery pack. A smart battery pack must be charged by a smart battery charger.
Battery Management Unit (BMU)
The BMU is a bridge between the CMUs and the vehicle communication bus. It controls the pre-charge and main contactors of the battery pack as well as collating the telemetry data from the nodes and providing a summary to other components on the vehicle CAN bus.
How is The BMS Works
The Orion Battery Management System (BMS) performs three primary functions:
- It protects the battery pack from being over-charged (cell voltages going too high) or over-discharged (cell voltages going too low) thereby extending the life of the battery pack. It does this by constantly monitoring every cell in the battery pack and calculating exactly how much current can safely go in (source, charge) and come out (load, discharge) of the battery pack without damaging it. These calculated current limits are then sent to the source (typically a battery charger) and load (motor controller, power inverter, etc), which are responsible for respecting these limits.
- It calculates the State of Charge (the amount of energy remaining in the battery) by tracking how much energy goes in and out of the battery pack and by monitoring cell voltages. This value can be thought of as a fuel gauge indicating how much battery power is left in the pack.
- It monitors the health and safety of the battery pack by constantly checking for shorts, loose connections, breakdowns in wire insulation, and weak or defective battery cells that need to be replaced.
There are also secondary functions that the BMS performs:
- Balances all the cells in the battery pack by intelligently bleeding off excess energy from cells that are charged more than others. This provides the maximum amount of usable energy (capacity) from the battery pack since the pack is only as strong as the weakest cell.
- Monitors the temperature of the battery pack and controls a battery fan to regulate the temperature of the pack. Additionally, it constantly monitors the output of the fan to make sure it is working properly.
- Provides real-time information and values to other devices such as motor controllers, chargers, displays and data loggers using several different methods (CANBUS, analog outputs, and digital outputs).
- Stores error codes and comprehensive diagnostic information to aide in fixing problems with the battery pack should any issues arise.
A 5,000 WATT( 5 KW ) SOLAR SYSTEM INFORMATION AND PRICING
A 5000W solar power system is a size that should easily offset a typical home’s electricity usage. If it doesn’t, then you’ve got one serious energy guzzler of a home and should really consider an energy audit before going solar!
5 kW solar systems are also the minimum system size you should be considering if you’re looking to add batteries to your system in the future. Here’s what you need to know about 5kw solar system price and other information.
How many solar panels will you need?
To make up a 5kW solar system, you need 17 solar panels, assuming you use 300W panels – that will actually give you 5.1kW.
Each panel will be about 1.6m x 1m, so you’ll need at least 17.2m² of roof space.
How much electricity will a 5kW solar system generate?
A 5kW solar system will generate approximately 20kWh per day, depending on your location and a variety of other factors. The average home in Australia uses about 16kWh per day.
Note that this does not mean installing a 5kW solar power system will automatically give you a $0 electricity bill, as most households use the majority of their electricity at night when the sun isn’t shining – I talk about this in greater detail here.
How much money will a 5kW solar system save?
You may be thinking: “If the 5kW system offsets my energy usage, then surely it’s going to wipe out my electricity bill?”

Difference Between Online UPS and OffLine UPS
What is an UPS? UPS, Uninterruptible Power Supply is a device that supplies power in case of power failures. A UPS can be either Online UPS or Offline UPS. Both types of UPS can be used as a backup power source but there are many differences between them.
Data Secure is become more important for whole world, UPS systems, Gives emergency power to a system if the grid is shut down, UPS are becoming an essential part of our lives. From the base structure, All UPS are categorized into two types: Online UPS and Offline UPS.
What online UPS? The Online UPS is a type of UPS that supplies power to the AC load through the Rectifier and Inverter Combo in normal operation and uses an inverter to supply AC power during a power failure. Therefore, the output power supply always stays ON and there is no need for switching. Hence, there is no time delay in switching between its sources. There is no interruption in the case of power failure even for a nanosecond.
What Offline UPS? The offline UPS is a type of UPS that directly supplies the power to the AC load from the AC mains in normal operation and uses an inverter to power the AC load from the DC battery. Since there are two separate lines of supplies, the output supply must be switched between the two sources.
The switching speed of an Offline UPS is around 5ms which is enough to keep a computer from shutting down. But not fast enough to keep a smooth operation of sensitive equipment in hospitals.
What is the difference between online UPS and offline UPS?
Here is is brief introduction to answer your questions about:
Operation difference:
The batteries of offline UPS are charged all the time. If the power fails, the load is powered by the inverter. Lower Cost offline UPS generally, when on inverter/battery backup, provide a square/pseudo sine wave output waveform.
Online UPS takes the incoming AC mains supply and converts it to DC which feeds the battery and the load via the inverter. If the mains supply fails, then the batteries feed the load via the inverter with no interruption to the output supply at all. It means our electronics get power from the online UPS, rather than directly from the AC mains. Therefore, even if the main AC power fails, the operation of our electronic equipment does not need to be stopped.
What’s more, The dual conversion design (AC-DC / DC- AC) of an Online system ensures a far higher degree of isolation of the load from the irregularities on the mains supply. That’s why the Online system delivers a fixed and stable output all the time.
Voltage distortion difference:
Online UPS: Voltage distortion does not reduce the performance.
Offline UPS: The more the voltage fluctuations, the more the offline UPS is used. A frequent switch could lead to switching delays or could ultimately reduce its performance.
Price difference：
Compared with online UPS price，offline UPS’s are cheaper.
| ONLINE UPS | OFFLINE UPS |
|---|---|
| The UPS that supplies power from the AC mains to the load through the rectifier and inverter combination | The UPS that supply the AC mains power directly to the load. |
| It continuously draws current from the battery. | It only draws current from the battery during primary source failure or power outage. |
| It requires a large battery charger circuit because it carries the entire load current. | It requires a small charger circuit because it only charges the battery. |
| The input supply and the load is completely isolated. | There is no isolation between the input supply and load. |
| It has high-performance output because it protects the output load from input voltage spike and distortion. | Its performance reduces with the input voltage distortion; which is directly connected to the load. |
| There is not switching between the source, hence no time delay | It uses a static transfer switch to switch between its source with a time delay of 5ms |
| It stays ON almost at all times. | It turns ON only at power failure. |
| Due to its continuous ON condition, it is inefficient and unreliable. | It is more efficient and reliable because it mostly stays off. |
| It requires large heat sinks because of the high operating temperature | It requires smaller heat sinks because of low operating temperature due to its off state mostly. |
| The components used must have the tolerance to withstand high temperature | There is no need for the components to have high-temperature tolerance. |
| It is expensive than Offline UPS. | It is cheaper than Online UPS. |
| It is used for very sensitive electronics that cannot tolerate any gap between supplies such as in-hospital ICUs | Offline UPS is used for electronic equipment that can tolerate a delay of 5ms such as Computer etc |
How to Select: Inline UPS or Offline UPS?
In situations where a square/pseudo sine output waveform is not acceptable then true sine wave more expensive off-line or online UPS are recommended. But when you are much concerned about the cost and wish a lower operating temperature, offline UPS is better.
OSM Energy 5 kwh battery solar system best price
Recently, OSM Energy released a 5 kwh battery system with complete solution. This 5 Kwh battery pack apply with lithium ion technology. Inside come with built in BMS.
Just like tesla battery wall. OSM 5 kwh battery is a ready to use product. This system is design for Solar Home small energy storage system.
Take this oppotunity, let’s check some FAQ most people concerns:
Price for the Battery system
Price is most concerns people. OSM’s 5 Kwh LFP battery system apply with prismatic LFP 3.2v 50Ah cells. The battery pack is form by 16S2P. 51.2 volt 100Ah. Total energy is 5120Wh. If interested to our price, please contact our sales department for more details about the quotation. Quotation is only the best, as we are directly manufactuer of it.
How long will a 5kWh battery last?
About 25 hours for daily use.
5Kwh means you have totall energy 5000Wh. If we turn to 48 volt. The total battery capacity is about 104Ah.
If the battery is fully charged, how long will it last? It depends on what you are running on it. If you have a few lights on and you’re watching TV, doing some cooking, Let’s say, the total consume is 200W. And this consume is lasting about 25hours.
Same if people ask How long will a 10 kWh battery last? It last about 2days.
How many batteries is 5000 watts?
I guess the question should be How many batteries is 5000 watts hours by fully charged. If talking about our prismatic cell 3.2v 50Ah. Then the calculation is like : 5000wh/3.2volt=1562.5Ah. 1562.5Ah/50Ah=31.25. Means you should have about 31pcs 3.2v 50Ah battery cells. So, how many batteries is 5000watts hours will depends on which kind of battery you use.
How do you convert kWh to hours?
When you see Kwh. The “h” means hours. if you have 5Kwh battery. And the consum is 5000w. Then you only get 1 hour to use this battery pack.
Battery Energy Storage Systems and Their Role in Grid Integration
The question of what role grid-scale battery storage plays in a power system has gained prominence because of the increasing need for power system flexibility coupled with the rapid decline in the cost of storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries. More utilities and governments seek to determine whether battery storage is a cost-effective option for integrating large shares of variable renewable energy, such as wind and solar, into their power systems.
While energy storage presents an enormous opportunity to improve power system operations, many power systems can support variable renewable energy integration using other methods such as system operation improvements or conventional generation flexibility. The appropriate amount of grid-scale battery storage depends on system-specific characteristics. A careful analysis is always required to understand whether investing in energy storage is the best option.
Battery energy storage systems (OSM BESS) are best suited for applications that require a fast response time and a high power demand over the short or medium term. They improve the reliability, availability and efficiency of the power supply. OSM BESS are ideal for applications like peak shaving, frequency control and load balancing, as well as renewable integration through ramp rate control and energy time shift. Energy storage systems generate much higher value when multiple, stacked services are provided in the same system.
What is battery energy storage system?
What is ESS means, Well, many people ask for this. ESS is Energy storage system for short. and from Wikipage,as the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time. While there are a number of approaches to storing energy including mechanical (eg – flywheels), chemical (eg – hydrogen) and thermal (eg – ice systems), it is the electro-chemical approach using different types of batteries where the vast majority of industry activity is focused today.
Early activity in stationary energy storage systems for the grid focused on only two components – the battery modules which store the electricity and the power conversion systems (PCSs) that convert the electricity from the direct current form stored in the battery to the alternating current form that is used on the electric grid. But as the industry has moved from simply deploying pilot ESSs and demonstrating that they can charge and discharge to integrating these systems as standard parts of the production grid, it has become clear that control software is a vital third component. This control software serves as the “brains behind the battery,” providing remote visibility of the asset in grid control systems such as SCADA and enabling second by second optimization of the battery across a wide range of valuable roles that it can play for the utility owner managing the power system.
