SMK 5.5kW Hybrid Inverter (EM5500-48) is a high-capacity hybrid solar inverter designed for large homes, offices, businesses and demanding backup power applications in Nigeria. It combines solar power, battery storage and utility electricity to provide reliable and efficient power management.
With a 5,500W continuous output and 1.0 power factor, the SMK 5.5kW Hybrid Inverter delivers clean pure sine wave power for compatible household appliances, office equipment and other electrical loads. It also provides an 11,000VA surge capacity, giving suitable appliances additional startup headroom.
The inverter uses a 48V battery system and features a high-voltage solar PV input, making it suitable for larger solar installations. SMK specifies a 120VDC–500VDC PV input range and up to 5,500W of PV array power.
One of the standout features of the SMK 5.5kW Hybrid Inverter (EM) is its Battery-Free Mode. When sufficient solar energy is available, the inverter can power connected loads directly from solar panels even without a battery connected. This gives users the option to start with solar generation and add battery storage as their energy needs grow.
The EM5500-48 is also compatible with LiFePO4 lithium batteries and supports lithium battery communication through RS485. It includes a battery activation function and EQ charging functionality for compatible battery systems.
With its combination of high output capacity, high-voltage solar input, battery-free operation and lithium compatibility, the SMK 5.5kW Hybrid Inverter is a strong option for customers looking to reduce dependence on grid electricity and generators.
