FAQs
What is included with the system?
The core configuration shown combines six WT5100 51.2V 100Ah rack batteries, one six-slot floor rack, and one 12kW 120/240V split-phase hybrid inverter. Confirm the exact cable, breaker, disconnect, and installation-accessory quantities in the product listing before ordering.
How much energy and power does it provide?
The six batteries provide 30.72kWh of nominal storage. The inverter delivers up to 12kW of continuous 120/240V split-phase pure sine wave output and 18kVA of peak power.
Can it power an entire ranch?
The system can support prioritized ranch-house, cold-storage, water, irrigation, barn, and workshop circuits when their combined demand stays within system limits. It does not guarantee that every load can operate simultaneously; final coverage depends on running watts, starting surge, wiring, and circuit priorities.
How long can it provide backup power?
Using approximately 22.4–25.2kWh of planned available AC energy, estimated runtime ranges from 28.0–31.5 hours at a 0.8kW house-and-freezer load to 2.8–3.1 hours at an 8kW operating load. Actual runtime varies with reserve settings, efficiency, temperature, battery condition, and changing loads.
Can it start pumps and other motors?
The inverter supports up to 18kVA peak power and motor starting up to 6HP under the specified conditions. A qualified installer must verify each motor's voltage, running current, locked-rotor or starting surge, and the demand from other loads already operating.
Can it use solar, grid, and generator power?
Yes. The hybrid platform supports dual MPPT solar input, grid input, generator mode, and battery storage. Its listed solar range is 90–450V MPPT with a 500V maximum PV open-circuit voltage; final array and source configuration must follow the inverter manual.
Does this model have a 200A bypass path?
No 200A bypass claim applies to this configuration. This package uses the 12kW non-bypass inverter enclosure, so system planning should be based on its 12kW continuous output and verified wiring limits.
Do the batteries include BMS protection?
Yes. Each WT5100 includes intelligent BMS monitoring for voltage, current, temperature, and cell balance, with protection against overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and short circuit. CAN and RS485 communication support battery-bank coordination.
Is professional installation required?
Yes. The six batteries weigh approximately 608.4 lb combined and should be secured in a stable floor-mounted rack in a dry indoor location. The 52.5 lb inverter requires verified wall support, ventilation and service clearances, proper overcurrent protection, and code-compliant installation. The listed limited warranties are 10 years for the batteries and 5 years for the inverter; terms apply.
