| The Pylontech US3000C and US5000 represent the pinnacle of residential energy storage. |
Why Pylontech is the Smart Choice
Pylontech batteries are built with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, the safest and most stable lithium chemistry available. This is combined with a self-developed Battery Management System (BMS) that provides multi-layered protection against over-current, over-voltage, and extreme temperatures, ensuring ultimate safety and a superior, long-lasting performance.
Pylontech's modular, rack-mounted design is the key to their flexibility. You can start with a single battery module and easily add more in parallel as your energy needs grow. This "Easy to Scale Up" philosophy ensures your investment is future-proof and always perfectly sized for your requirements.
Pylontech batteries are engineered for broad compatibility with a wide range of leading Tier-1 inverter brands, including Deye, Victron, and Sunsynk. Their robust communication via CAN and RS485 protocols allows for seamless integration, ensuring the inverter can optimize the battery's performance and lifespan.
Pylontech US3000C: The Versatile Foundation
The US3000C is a standout performer, offering a nominal capacity of 3.55kWh in a compact and efficient package. Its simplicity and modularity make it an ideal starting point for residential solar systems. The robust built-in BMS intelligently manages and protects the cells, ensuring a long and reliable service life of over 6,000 cycles.
Pylontech US5000: The Powerhouse Module
For those with higher energy demands, the US5000 is a game-changer. It boasts a larger nominal capacity of 4.8kWh and a higher recommended charge/discharge current of 50A (with peaks up to 200A). This makes it perfect for running more demanding appliances and for larger homes. Its modular design allows for stacking up to 16 units for a massive 72.96kWh of storage, providing a dependable power source for any application.

Frequently Asked Questions
The US3000C is an excellent starting point for average-sized homes looking to power essentials. The US5000 is better suited for larger homes with higher consumption, or for those who want longer backup times and the ability to run more demanding appliances. Our team at Sona Solar Zimbabwe can perform a load analysis to recommend the perfect fit.
This depends entirely on your energy usage. A single US5000 (4.8kWh) can typically power essential loads for 8-12 hours. We recommend starting with a capacity that covers your critical needs during load-shedding, keeping in mind you can easily add more modules later.
Pylontech offers the perfect balance of performance, safety, and value. Their proven reliability, long cycle life, and compatibility with leading inverters like Deye make them the most powerful and trusted lithium batteries in Zimbabwe for both off-grid and grid-tied solar systems.
