Sona Solar Review: The EVolt 5.4kWh Lithium Battery
As Zimbabwe grapples with energy shortages, the need for reliable solar storage is critical. Sona Solar Zimbabwe introduces a game-changing solution: the EVolt 51.2V (100Ah) Lithium Battery. Manufactured by global leader SVOLT, this battery offers an unparalleled combination of power, longevity, and safety, redefining how Zimbabweans power their homes and businesses.

Pros
- Exceptional cycle life (>6000 cycles)
- High 5.43kWh usable capacity
- Advanced LiFePO4 safety features
- Scalable up to 16 units in parallel
- Space-saving wall or rack mount design
Cons
- Higher initial investment than lead-acid
- Heavy unit requires secure installation
What Makes the EVolt Battery Stand Out?
The EVolt battery is built for high performance. With a nominal capacity of 106Ah, it delivers a solid 5.43kWh of energy storage, sufficient to power critical appliances, entire homes, or small businesses during extended power outages.
One of its most attractive features is its incredible cycle life. Rated for over 6000 cycles, it boasts a much longer lifespan than traditional lead-acid batteries, minimizing the need for costly replacements and making it an excellent long-term investment.
The modular design is adaptable for any energy need. You can start with a single battery and easily expand the system by connecting up to 16 units in parallel as your energy requirements grow, providing both cost-efficiency and flexibility.
In spaces where every square metre counts, the compact, dual-purpose design is a major advantage. It can be elegantly wall-mounted or fitted into a standard server rack, saving valuable floor space in homes and offices.
Safety is a key concern, and the EVolt battery addresses this with a robust built-in BMS. Its LiFePO4 chemistry is inherently safer than other lithium technologies, and the BMS provides advanced protection against overcharging, over-discharging, and thermal instability.
Why Sona Solar Recommends EVolt for Zimbabwe
With extended load shedding affecting daily life, the EVolt battery ensures you won’t be left in the dark. Its large storage capacity makes it the perfect backup power solution during outages, giving you the reliability the national grid often cannot provide.
For rural areas in Zimbabwe that remain off-grid, the EVolt battery, paired with solar panels, offers an excellent, long-lasting solution for providing consistent power to homes, schools, and clinics.
Although the upfront cost is higher than lead-acid batteries, the long-term savings are significant. With a lifespan of over 6000 cycles and minimal maintenance, users can expect to see huge savings on energy bills and avoid frequent replacement costs.
The EVolt battery is an excellent choice for Zimbabwe’s growing commercial sector. Whether it's for a data center, a telecommunication tower, or a small manufacturing plant, this battery offers the reliable, scalable energy storage that businesses require.
