What’s more, the products are compatible with both new installations and AC- or DC-coupled retrofits. SegenSolar is delighted to stock the residential 5kW SMILE System with the 10.1KWh storage from Alpha ESS — an all-in-one solution guaranteed to transform how homeowners use and produce electricity in Southern Africa.

Thanks to its German design, the SMILE5 offers superb performance and a long lifespan with multiple operation modes available for ultra-flexible application. Additionally, the batteries are made of lithium-ion phosphate: the safest of all lithium battery types. The product is designed with PV self-consumption in mind yet also features back-up power, load shifting and off-grid solutions for all household systems.
