The S5000 in brief

The S5000 pairs split-phase output with 4,500 W of AC and 5,024 Wh of battery rated for 10,000 cycles, the longest cycle life of the 5 stations in the 4,000 Wh and up class. Every appliance in the runtime list starts and runs, with a refrigerator lasting 46 h to 5 days and a 1,575 W space heater 2.7 h to 3.3 h. Surge peaks at 8,000 W for 1 s. Solar goes in at up to 3,000 W across a 16 V to 165 V window, taking 2.2 h at full input, and wall charging at 4,500 W takes 1.1 h. Expansion batteries lift the system to 30,144 Wh. The case weighs 97 lb, and UL 9540 and UL 9540A are the certifications listed.

How long the S5000 runs things

Times use about 85% of the rated capacity, the part left after inverter and battery losses. At 4,500 W of output, the 1,875 W hair dryer runs 2.3 h to 2.4 h and the 1,500 W kettle 2.8 h. Light loads run for days, from a Wi-Fi router at 4 days to 20 days to LED lights at 18 days to 20 days.

Solar panels for the S5000

Its solar port takes 16 to 165 V, up to 17 A and 2,000 W. A panel's voltage rises in the cold, so the marks below show each one at 14 F, and a pass here keeps 10% of headroom under the maximum.

All 2 of its inputs: Low-PV (11 to 60 V, 1,000 W); High-PV (16 to 165 V, 2,000 W).

Anker SOLIX's manual does not name this plug, so confirm it with the maker before you buy a cable.

Who the S5000 suits

Pick it for long outages and for loads that need split-phase output, with room to expand to 30,144 Wh and a 5-year warranty. The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus is the pick if you need more output, at 7,200 W of AC against 4,500 W here, though it weighs 134.5 lb against 97 lb. The EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra suits long solar strings, taking 80 V to 450 V against this station's 16 V to 165 V.

FAQ

How many solar panels can the Anker SOLIX S5000 take in series?

Within its 16 V to 165 V window, the Anker 440W Rigid can go three in series, the PS400 and PS200 two, the PS100 five, and the EcoFlow 220W panels six. Check the connector on both ends. Anker recommends its own panels and PV connectors.

How big can the S5000 system grow?

With expansion batteries the system reaches 30,144 Wh, from the 5,024 Wh base.

Can the S5000 run a well pump?

A 1,000 W well pump runs for 4.3 h, and its 2,100 W start is well under the 8,000 W surge peak.

Does the S5000 offer split-phase output?

Yes, it is listed as split-phase, with a 4,500 W AC rating. Whether a particular home setup suits that is a question for a qualified electrician and the maker's instructions.
