Installation & Configuration

Installing storage batteries transforms your photovoltaic system into an autonomous system capable of supplying electricity 24 hours a day. However, integrating high-voltage lithium batteries requires rigour and precision to ensure optimal safety and performance.

This sub-category details all the steps involved in the professional installation of the main batteries on the market: Pylontech (US2000, US3000, US5000), Marstek Venus, BTS 5K Sofar, and other compatible models. From secure DC cabling to BMS configuration, master every technical aspect.

Pylontech US5000 installation: the gold standard. Our comprehensive guide (9046 views!) takes you through each step: assembling the modules in a vertical stack, wiring the communication cables (CAN/RS485), connecting to the grounding rail, and initial power-up with safety checks. You'll also learn how to configure the DIP switches for multi-module addressing and connecting to the inverter.

Marstek Venus: the smart all-in-one. This integrated system (9035 views) combines a hybrid inverter and battery in a single plug-and-play unit. Learn how to install the module, set up the mobile app, configure operating modes (self-consumption, off-peak hours, backup), and optimise charge/discharge thresholds.

You will also learn about communication protocols (CAN, RS485, WiFi), BMS settings (max/min cell voltage, charge/discharge current, balancing), and firmware update procedures.
