    ianm got a reaction from BritishRacingGreen in Would a system like this work to beat load shedding?   
    For a bit more you could maybe consider an installation like this:

    5 kW VMIII +  Hubble AM-2
     
    It is a nicely matched system as the AM-2 is 5.5 kWh (1C), so the inverter is able to supply the full 5kW (more than enough to boil the kettle).

    ianm got a reaction from Cyon in Sunsynk 5kW and which battery?   
    I also have been running a 5kW Sunsynk off a single US3000C limiting charge/discharge to 37A with no issues. I also plan to install a second US3000C in the future.
    It has been mentioned that Pylontech require more than one battery to be connected to the inverter for the warranty to be valid.  I have not seen this in any official Pylontech documentation, specifically it it not mentioned in their installation manual or their warranty documents. Personally, I am not convinced by the one reseller that I have seen who claims this. 
    Having said that however I would also recommend the Hubble AM-2, it will give you more capacity, a higher C rating, and is way easier to install. Not sure what inverter you are planning, but a single AM-2 is nice match for a 5kW inverter. Try and push the budget a bit.
