The total number of solar panels required for a 5kVA/48V inverter depends on the wattage of the solar panels being used and your overall energy requirements. Typically, a 5kVA inverter requires around 8 to 13 solar panels rated at 300 to 400 watts each.

Let’s look at an example:

If you are using 400W solar panels,
Total Solar Power = 400W × 13 panels = 5200W (5.2kW).

This setup is ideal for a 5kVA inverter, providing enough power to handle both load and battery charging efficiently.

For 48V systems, panels are connected in series to achieve a higher DC voltage input — generally between 60V to 90V DC — which allows the inverter’s MPPT controller to operate efficiently.

Thus, a 5kVA/48V inverter typically needs 8 to 13 high-efficiency solar panels depending on sunlight availability, geographical location, and energy consumption pattern.

Understanding the 5kVA/48V Inverter

A 5kVA inverter is a powerful and reliable solution for medium to large energy requirements. It converts DC power generated by solar panels and stored in batteries into AC power suitable for operating household or commercial electrical appliances.

For such systems, Lento India’s 5kVA/48V pure sine wave inverters are designed with advanced DSP technology to ensure stable, clean, and noise-free energy. They deliver high efficiency, seamless changeover, and long battery life, making them ideal for homes, offices, and industrial setups.

When paired with the right solar panels and battery bank, these inverters offer superior energy output and optimal cost savings over time.

Product Description

Our Solar Inverters and PCU (pure sine wave) are very perfect for hybrid solar system. It has inbuilt sine wave inverter and PWM solar charger/MPPT charger in a single unit. It is specially designed to keep battery healthy for longer time period.

For the minimization of electrical power, it uses optimum utilization of solar power with the technology of interactive solar charging with grid. It has very stable output voltage of 220 V (+/- 5V %), even in wide input voltage ranging from 130 V to 270 V in inverter mode and from 180V to 260V in UPS mode.

Other features are it is facilitated with high surge power of starting critical load, simple and easy handling with high reliability. Another significant point is its very low ‘no load current’.

(LENTO) Modified Sine Wave Solar Inverters perform adequate for general home lighting and computer use. These inverters have wide input range of 120V to 270V or compatible of 180V to 260V. This can be selected by soft on/off switch at front panel. The charging current and algorithm is designed for prolonged battery life.

The Role of Batteries in a 5kVA Solar Setup

For a 5kVA inverter to function effectively, batteries play a key role in storing solar energy for use during the night or cloudy periods. Typically, a 5kVA/48V inverter setup uses four 12V 200Ah batteries connected in series.

You can choose between:

• Tubular Batteries: Known for deep discharge recovery, long life, and higher efficiency — ideal for solar applications.

• SMF Batteries (Sealed Maintenance Free): Perfect for users looking for a maintenance-free, clean, and compact power storage solution.

A combination of high-quality solar panels, tubular batteries, and a pure sine wave inverter ensures long-lasting performance, reduced power loss, and maximum energy efficiency.

Lento India manufactures both tubular and SMF batteries, engineered to perform in extreme environments while providing reliable power backup for residential and commercial setups.
