When establishing a solar energy system, we often need to consider electricity demand, load management, selecting suitable solar panels, appropriate solar inverters, batteries, the ease of installation, and the installation location.
So let's focus on introducing what the 6200W 48V solar inverter can support.
Air conditioners:
Household air conditioners typically consume about 2000-3500 watts of power.
Refrigerators or freezers:
Usually consume between 100-800 watts of power.
LED or energy-saving bulbs:
Average around 100W.
High-power appliances like ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers:
Typically require 1000-3000 watts of power.
Low-power devices
like televisions, sound systems, and computers.
A 6200W 48V solar inverter can easily support these devices, but it may not be able to support multiple high-power devices simultaneously, so this should be carefully noted.

For off-grid homes, a 6200W 48V solar inverter can provide sufficient power for daily activities, including lighting, cooking, and operating basic household appliances.
In small commercial environments, it can support computers, office equipment, and lighting.
For small workshops, it can power tools and machinery such as drills, saws, and small compressors, which typically require 1000-2000 watts of power.
It can also be used as a backup power source. In grid-tied systems, the 6200W inverter can act as a powerful backup during power outages, keeping essential services like refrigeration, heating, and communication systems running.
What is a 48v inverter used for?
Off-grid solar systems:
Where there is no connection to the grid, a 48V inverter can provide the power needed by a home or small business to support the normal operation of lighting, appliances, tools, etc.
Grid-connected solar systems:
In grid-connected systems, 48V inverters can convert the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC power and deliver excess power back to the grid or use it as a backup power source in the event of a power outage.
Backup power systems:
48V inverters can provide uninterrupted power to critical equipment (e.g., refrigerators, heating systems, communications equipment, etc.) during a power outage, ensuring the continued operation of essential services.
Small commercial or industrial applications:
In some small commercial or industrial scenarios, 48V inverters can provide power for power tools, office equipment and small machinery.
How many batteries do l need to run an 6KVA 48V inverter?
Common battery voltage: 12V or 24V.
12V Battery: If using a 12V battery, 4 batteries need to be connected in series to reach a system voltage of 48V.
24V Battery: If using a 24V battery, 2 batteries in series are required to achieve 48V system voltage.
Battery Capacity and Load Time
Capacity Calculation: Assuming you wish to run for one hour at full load, a 6kVA inverter with 6000 watts of power and a system voltage of 48V.
Total battery capacity required = 6000 watts / 48 volts = 125 amp hours (Ah).
For example, if each 12V battery has a capacity of 100Ah, you would need at least 4 batteries in series (to achieve 48V) and about 2-3 groups in parallel to provide enough capacity to meet your power needs.
What are the benefits of 48V system?
Higher efficiency, less power loss:
At the same power, 48V systems draw less current and have less power loss (in the form of heat) in the cable. Power loss is usually proportional to the square of the current, so using higher voltages can significantly reduce energy loss.
Support for higher power devices:
48V systems can more easily support high power devices or inverters. This is useful for application scenarios where multiple high-power devices need to be run, such as homes, commercial premises or industrial applications.
Smaller cable sizes:
Due to the lower current, 48V systems can use thinner cables, which not only saves on material costs, but also simplifies the installation process. In addition, smaller cables are easier to handle and manage.
Improved safety:
While 48V is still a relatively safe voltage, it is safer than high-voltage systems, reducing the risk of electric shock while still maintaining high efficiency and power output.
48V systems are widely used in solar systems, communications equipment and electric vehicles, resulting in better compatibility with many devices and standards. This makes 48V systems a versatile and flexible option.
