Scalable Lithium Battery for Off Grid Solar
As the demand for reliable long term energy storage grows across Australia, lithium battery technologies continue to evolve offering more options for off grid and hybrid solar users. One such battery gaining attention in the off grid energy space is the SIMPO 5000, a 48V lithium iron phosphate LiFePO4 battery designed for homes, farms, and businesses looking to increase energy independence.
At Stand Alone Power, we stay up to date with emerging battery technologies like the SIMPO 5000, especially those that may benefit customers across Toowoomba, Southern Downs, Sunshine Coast, and greater Brisbane.
What Is the SIMPO 5000
The SIMPO 5000 is a modular lithium iron battery that offers around 5kWh of usable storage per unit. Its chemistry LiFePO4 is known for excellent thermal stability, long lifespan, and safety, making it suitable for remote and rural applications in Queensland.
The SIMPO 5000, with its growing presence in the Australian market, makes it a contender for off grid applications where performance, safety, scalability and affordability are important.
Key Features
- Approx 5kWh usable capacity per unit
- 6,000+ cycles at 80 to 90 percent depth of discharge
- Modular and scalable for larger battery banks
- Built in Battery Management System BMS
- Compatible with inverters such as Victron, Selectronic, and Sungrow
- LiFePO4 chemistry stable, non toxic, and thermally safe
These features suggest the SIMPO 5000 is suited to off grid solar power systems and hybrid installations alike, particularly in areas where grid reliability is poor or non existent.
Potential for Queensland Off Grid Conditions
Across rural and regional Queensland from Brisbane’s outer suburbs to the Sunshine Coast hinterland and Southern Downs farming country, homeowners are increasingly seeking battery systems that can withstand heat, dust, and deep daily cycling.
Though we have not installed this battery ourselves, the SIMPO 5000’s specifications indicate it may be appropriate for:
- Off grid cabins or eco homes
- Remote agricultural setups
- Battery backup for hybrid solar systems
- Scalable storage in high usage households
A Sustainable Energy Option
With thousands of deep charge discharge cycles, no ongoing maintenance, and fully recyclable materials, the SIMPO 5000 represents a cleaner alternative to traditional battery banks like AGM or gel.
Its high round trip efficiency and low standby losses also align with the goals of many off grid users looking to reduce fuel costs and lower their carbon footprint.
Inverter Compatibility and Flexibility
The SIMPO 5000 is reportedly compatible with many leading inverter brands used in off grid installations including Victron Energy, Selectronic, and Sungrow. This flexibility is essential for tailoring power systems to meet individual site and load requirements.
