The Solis IntelliHome 10kWh Lithium Battery (IntelliHome-10kWh-OD) is a low-voltage LiFePO4 residential energy storage battery from Solis, designed to pair with Solis hybrid and storage inverters for solar self-consumption, backup power, and time-of-use load shifting.
Rated at 10kWh nominal capacity, the unit is housed in an IP66-rated enclosure for robust protection against dust and water ingress, and supports both wall-mounted and floor-mounted installation. Up to 8 units can be connected in parallel, allowing installers to scale total storage capacity as a household's needs grow.
Please Note — Capacity Options
This is the 10kWh version of the Solis IntelliHome range (SKU: IntelliHome-10kWh-OD). The IntelliHome range is also available in 5kWh, 10kWh, and 16kWh capacities — each is a distinct unit with its own dimensions, weight, and current rating, listed separately rather than as variants of one another.
Installer-Only Product
This battery must be installed by a qualified, competent installer in accordance with the manufacturer's installation manual, relevant wiring regulations, and local electrical safety standards. Always verify compatibility with the intended inverter model before ordering.
LiFePO4 Chemistry
Uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells for inherently stable, long-life energy storage with a strong safety profile compared to other lithium chemistries, supporting 100% usable depth of discharge.
IP66-Rated Enclosure
An IP66-rated housing means the battery is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand powerful water jets from any direction, supporting flexible indoor or sheltered outdoor placement.
Wall or Floor Mounted
Ships ready for wall-mounted installation as standard, with floor mounting also supported — giving installers flexibility to fit the unit to the available space in a garage, utility room, or plant room.
Expandable in Parallel
Supports expansion up to 8 units in parallel, allowing the total system capacity to be scaled well beyond a single unit's 10kWh as a household's storage needs increase over time.
Built-In Heating Function
An integrated heating function extends the usable charging temperature range down to -20°C, helping maintain performance through cold winter conditions.
Long Design Life
Solis states a cycle life of over 6000 cycles / 10 years (to 70% end-of-life capacity at 100% depth of discharge), supporting long-term day-to-day cycling for solar self-consumption.
CAN/RS485 Communication
Communicates with the paired inverter over CAN or RS485, supporting the battery management coordination needed for safe, efficient charge and discharge control.
Broad Inverter Compatibility
Compatible with a wide range of Solis hybrid and storage inverter platforms across the S5 and S6 ranges, as listed in the manufacturer datasheet.

Compatibility Check Recommended
Always cross-check the exact inverter model and firmware against the current Solis compatibility documentation before finalising a system design — compatible inverter lists are subject to update by the manufacturer.
What size solar and inverter setup pairs well with this battery?
Solis' own reference guidance suggests roughly matching battery capacity to inverter size and roof area — for example, this 10kWh battery sits within the range Solis recommends alongside a comparable kW inverter and PV array size. An installer can confirm the ideal match for a specific property.
Can this battery be expanded later?
Yes. The IntelliHome range supports up to 8 units in parallel, so additional batteries can be added to increase total storage capacity as requirements grow, subject to the connected inverter's maximum supported capacity.
Does this battery work in cold weather?
Yes. It includes a built-in heating function that extends the usable charging temperature range down to -20°C, with derating above 45°C.
Can it be installed outdoors?
The IP66-rated enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, but final suitability for a specific outdoor location should be confirmed against the manufacturer's installation manual and local site conditions.
Is professional installation required?
Yes. This battery must be installed by a qualified, competent installer in line with the manufacturer's installation manual and relevant electrical regulations.
