5kW Solar Load-Shedding Starter Kit — Deye + Hubble AM-5 + 6 Panels
R58 650.00 incl. VAT
Everything you need to survive South Africa’s load shedding — in one complete, pre-matched solar kit. The 5kW Solar Starter Kit includes a Deye 5kW Hybrid Inverter, 1 × Hubble AM-5 5.12kWh LiFePO4 battery, and 6 × JA Solar 550W half-cell panels (3,300W total PV). All components are pre-matched for compatibility — no sizing mistakes, no mismatched specs.
Generates 15–20kWh per day in summer. Powers lights, fridge, TV, router, PC, and fans during load shedding and overnight. Battery recharges fully from solar in 3–4 hours on a clear day. Suitable for 3-bedroom homes and small offices.
Kit pricing saves R3,500+ vs. buying separately. Price excludes VAT, installation, cabling, and mounting hardware. Professional installation recommended — contact us for installer referrals in your area.

What’s Included in the 5kW Starter Kit?
- 1 × Deye 5kW Hybrid Inverter (SUN-5K-SG04LP1) — dual MPPT, 97.6% efficiency, IP65, Wi-Fi monitoring
- 1 × Hubble AM-5 5.12kWh LiFePO4 Battery — prismatic cells, 10-year warranty, Cloudlink monitoring
- 6 × JA Solar JAM72S30-550W Half-Cell Mono Panels — 21.1% efficiency, 25-year performance warranty
All components are pre-selected for compatibility. The Hubble AM-5 communicates via CAN bus with the Deye inverter for accurate BMS integration. The 6 panels (3,300W total) connect across both MPPT inputs for optimal shading tolerance.
System Performance
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily solar generation (summer, Gauteng) | 18–22 kWh |
| Daily solar generation (winter, Gauteng) | 10–14 kWh |
| Backup duration (5A load-shedding) | 6–8 hours |
| Battery recharge time (from solar) | 3–4 hours (clear day) |
| Monthly electricity bill savings | R1,500–R2,200 (est.) |
| Payback period (incl. installation) | 3–5 years |
What Appliances Does It Power?
During load shedding, the 5.12kWh battery (at 4.6kWh usable) comfortably runs: 10 × LED lights (50W), fridge-freezer (150W), 2 × TVs (200W), Wi-Fi router (20W), laptop (60W), phone chargers (30W) — for 8+ hours. Add a microwave for short burst use (2,400W, so 2 minutes per hour). A washing machine (2,000W) can run 2 full cycles on one battery charge.
Installation Notes
This kit requires professional installation by a registered electrician familiar with solar hybrid systems. The inverter must be connected to a dedicated DB board circuit with correct AC breakers. Panels require roof mounting hardware (sold separately). We can recommend qualified installers in all major SA cities — contact our team for referrals.
Upgrading Later
Add a second Hubble AM-5 battery (total 10.24kWh) to extend backup from 8 to 16 hours. Add 4 more panels (5,500W total PV) to maximise summer generation. Both upgrades are plug-and-play with the existing Deye inverter.

Gugulethu Mkhize –
The 5kW Solar Load-Shedding Starter Kit — Deye + Hubble AM-5 + 6 Panels has transformed our house. We went from Stage 6 misery to complete indifference about load shedding. Everything runs normally during outages including the aircon, TV and kitchen appliances. The inverter monitor app is very useful for tracking production and consumption.
Lindiwe Mthembu –
Very impressed with the 5kW Solar Load-Shedding Starter Kit — Deye + Hubble AM-5 + 6 Panels from PowerVault. Every component arrived in perfect condition and our installer confirmed it was all high quality. We have now been running for four months without a single issue. Our electricity bill has dropped by almost 80 percent.
