The SAKO Alpha ESS 3KVA is an all-in-one solar energy storage system that integrates a 3kVA/2.7kW inverter with a built-in 2.56kWh lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery. This system provides a compact and efficient solution for home backup power and off-grid use.
Key Features and Specifications
The SAKO Alpha ESS 3KVA system combines essential components into a single unit, designed for simplicity and performance.
Design and Usability:
• All-in-One: Integrates a solar inverter, battery, and controller, minimizing wiring and installation effort (plug-and-play).
• Portability: Features an upright or portable design, sometimes with pulleys for easy movement.
• Monitoring: Includes a smart LCD display and Wi-Fi monitoring via an app for real-time status checks.
• Quiet Operation: Operates at a low noise level of under 40dB.
Inverter and Power Output:
• Power: The inverter is rated at 3kVA / 2.7kW (power factor of 0.9, a common standard for many inverters).
• Output: Provides a stable, pure sine wave AC output, suitable for running sensitive household appliances like refrigerators, TVs, and laptops.
• Versatile Outputs: Includes multiple AC outlets, DC outputs (such as USB and 12V ports), and terminal connections.
Battery and Charging:
• Battery Type: Uses safe and durable Grade-A LiFePO₄ batteries.
• Capacity: Commonly available with a 5kWh (5120Wh) capacity, though a smaller 2.56kWh (2560Wh) variant also exists.
• Long Life: The battery is designed for a lifespan of over 8,000 cycles or a 10-year design life.
• Fast Charging: Supports super-fast recharging, with the ability to go from 0 to 90% in approximately one hour using both AC and solar inputs.
• Dual Input: Can be charged from solar panels (built-in MPPT charger) or the utility grid/generator.
Ideal Applications
• According to SAKO, this system is a smart solar power solution recommended for various scenarios:
• Home Backup: Provides reliable power during grid outages or load-shedding events.
• Off-Grid Living: A suitable solution for remote cabins or areas without reliable grid access.
• Small Offices: Capable of powering essential office equipment
